As a month, January is like March for birding, coming in like a lion as everyone tears into a fresh, new year list, but going out like a lamb as we gradually recognize how little bird movement really takes place this time of year. Try to overcome the urge to wait until the next migration; get outside this weekend!
I’ll be working mornings this weekend but hope to hustle up an owl or two if the weather permits. Corey will be combing Queens and other locales for the best in NYC winter avifauna. How about you? Where will you be this weekend and will you be birding? Share your plans in the comments below.
Whatever your plans this weekend, make time to enjoy SkyWatch Friday. Also be sure to come back Monday to share your best bird of the weekend!
