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!

We appreciate your feedback!

Thank you all so much for your suggestions.  We will certainly try to implement them into this blog.  One request has been for pictures of the birds we have added to the Long Island Native Species List.  We want all who are interested to become birders too, so we are happy to obilge.  Here are pictures of the first eight birds we added to our list.  In order they are:  White Breasted Nuthatch; American Robin; Black Capped Chickadee; Mourning Dove; Red Bellied Woodpecker; Downy Woodpecker; Song Sparrow; European Starling.

In addition, we would love to include the audio of these birds but do not have that capability yet.  In the meantime, we encourage you to try out a site such as www.birdjam.com/learn.php or www.enature.com/birding/audio.asp. There are many common bird calls that you can listen to right on the website.  Please keep posted for more updates.
