Finally ... a weekend off to do some serious birding.
As is probably obvious from my lack of postings here lately, I've been rather tied to my work at the university. In the past week, I've only managed to get out a few evenings for a few hours of birding -- none of which has been too fruitful.
But this weekend should be different -- Ifinished up work early today, and will be leaving for Kuusamo in a few hours!! I'm pretty excited ... and am going with a hefty "wish-list" for the next two days. Key are the northern and eastern specialties which I should be able to score in Kuusamo -- Siberian Tit, Siberian Jay, Arctic Warbler, Little Bunting, Grey Wagtail --- AND, of course, Red-flanked Bluetail. And that's just the tip of the iceberg!!
So ... Tune in on Monday (June 13) for full trip report, and hopefully a few mediocre pics!!
