While a huge swath of the United States braces for record-setting heat–again–other parts of the world may be suffering equally oppressive though dramatically different weather. Wherever you are, whatever you do, stay safe, but also try to find time to check out some birds!

I’m visiting Boston for business, which may disrupt my best birding intentions. Corey, on the other hand, is hightailing it to his hometown in Upstate New York, where he should be able to keep cool and catch a few interesting avian species. 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!
