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!

Backyard Birds

So San and I met up today for another impromptu gathering.  Her husband had to work, and mine went upstate with some friends to go four wheeling.  So we did what girlfriends do, we went out to lunch.  And then we went to one of our favorite stores.  Can you guess which store??? I am sure most of you can, it was Border's Book Store.

We walk in and go off in our separate directions to search the shelves for books and magazines to peruse.  Loaded down with quite a few books we settle in at a table, San orders her triple chocolate hot chocolate and I order my cup of tea and we read. 

San finds this great book on 'Attracting & Feeding Backyard Birds' on the bargain shelf, and after we looked through it we came up with this great idea. 

We are going to host a birding and bonding party!  We will have all kinds of birding projects to do, bird houses to paint, bird feeders to make.  And of course bird food ideas.  We will post on a regular basis birding ideas that you can choose from and then we will get together and bond while birding.
Spring is here, so more and more birds will be looking for homes and food.  So stay tuned and we will start posting great birding ideas.
