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!

Some great links!

It is obvious that since I am home, sick, I have much time on my hands.  I wanted to share with you some great websites that I discovered in my down time.  The first one is a good all purpose website for anything related to birds and birding.  It is sponsered by the Cornell Laboratory of Ornithology.  The web address is www.allaboutbirds.org. The second website is also connected to Cornell.  Here you can search sightings in any state by county and date.  It will show you who saw what, and where, and when.  You can then print it out to keep with you.  Very cool.  The web address is www.ebird.org.  The last site www.birdpost.com.  At this site you can get a list by county of what birds are in that particular area.  You can print it out and keep it with you.  You are also able to keep an online Life List.  Hope you enjoy them.  I hope I get out of the house soon!
