Birds of a Feather is back with our new blog, Birding and Bonding! Our previous objective remains the same. Our goal is to find all birds that live on Long Island year round. The only rule is that in order to add a bird to our list, we must see it when we are together. That's where the bonding comes in. Life can get so hectic that we sometimes fail to enjoy the more important things. This gives us a wonderful outlet to make sure we take the time.

Of course, Long Island has many migratory birds, as well. We certainly don't want to ignore them. We will blog about them as well. Armed with new cameras and renewed incentive, we look forward to getting back on the birding trail!

Red sky at morning, sailors take warning...

Will this Weather lore prove true I thought as I drove to work this morning.  What a beautiful red morning sky.  San and I have tentative plans to 'Bird' this weekend.  Will the snow blanket not only my yard but our plans as well?

As I think about our 'Birding and Bonding' Blog, I can't help but think that for me it's purpose has already been realized.  It's not that we have spent a lot more time in each others company, but I have spent more time with her in my 'Mind's eye'.  I am happy knowing that during the day San is thinking about me as I think of her.  We see birds while apart, with the mental note of the other one not being there to see it with them, so we are constantly in one another thoughts.  We've inspired others to take a closer look at their feathery friends, and they in turn are thinking of us as well.

I also thought of the movie 'Pay it Forward', perhaps this is how San and I can help other friends realize how important it is to stay in touch.
