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!

Lion or Lamb?

Another snowy day...I love the snow, but spring is only 17 days away.  I am ready for it.  I want to continue our bird watching under more favorable conditions.  This Saturday I believe we are going to some local spots such as Sunken Meadow.  In the past we have seen there, Snowy Egrets and Cormorants.  Hopefully we can also spot a Black Duck. 

San and I are going to start experimenting with our Black capped Chickadee's.  So that is yet another reason why we need March to go out like 'a lamb' and be sunny and warm.  We want to start training our Chickadee's to feed out of our hands.  Since you have to be patient and stand still for quite a while, it's imperative that it be just a tad warmer.  Can't wait to start.

    I hope you both will have good weather for bird watching this weekend. The trouble with March, it could be rain, it could be snow, weathermen never know. March has many weathers, sometimes all in one day. But I heard it suppose to be beautiful! So happy birding and bonding.
