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!

Sweet Treats

This project should be a tad easier.  Everyone has a sweet tooth, and birds are not exception.  The ingredients are listed and the birds that should be attracted to these treats are titmice, nuthatches, waxwings and starlings.  So gather all the things you will need and if you want, we can make these at our birding party.
For all the adventuresome ones who try this on their own, please take pictures of your creations and we will post them on our site. 

The simplest way to attract birds to your backyard, is to put out food for them, particularly during the months of winter when natural food becomes much scarcer.  However, you may provide appropriate food for backyard birds throughout the year if you want.  Whatever feeding method you decide upon, be consistent.
