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!

Golden Rules of Birding

When I got home tonight, tired and worn out, actually starting to believe that daylight savings time has me off kilter, when I noticed a package that had come in the mail and immediately I hoped it was for me.  Because like everyone else (that will admit it anyway) loves to get mail. 

It was a package from our 'daughter and her husband' in North Carolina.  I was so excited, all I wanted to do was rip it open but we had company over and dinner was already on the table 'cause my son picked it up on his way home. 

As we are eating dinner, I keep glancing back at the 'package' I so wanted dinner to be over so I could open it up.  At last, the last morsel was eaten and I can now open it and see what was waiting patiently for me inside.  Now, what could it possibly be...it was hard, so I figured it was a book.  So when I opened it I saw it was a book, at first I thought it was a journal, but no it was a book on birding.  101 Golden Rules of Birding.  What a surprise, Kristyn and Patrick have been reading our blog, and they sent both San & I the wonderful book pictured above.

How great is this, as I flip through the pages, one of the first things that catch my eye is the section entitled 'Birding Buddies'.  In this chapter it mentions that 'Birding is a solid foundation for many friendships, because it gives you plenty to talk about'.  How true this is.

So San and I will continue blogging, birding and bonding.  We welcome all to join us on our blog and experience the adventure with us.

Thank You Kristyn with a 'y' and Patrick.  We love you dearly.

    Thanks for sharing with us the beautiful book you received. I couldn't agree with you more. Birding and Bonding give you alot of good things to talk about. Although my blog isn't as focused as yours, I still hope to acheive the same thing. Sharing, talking and bonding. Your blog has encourage me to pay more attention to our feathered friends, animal, and human. Thanks!
