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!

Nest in a Boot Project

We have another birding project for our fellow birders.  This project looks really great!  Hopefully someone out there has an old boat laying around just waiting to become a bird house.

We will try to have a few more project ideas for our 'Birding and Bonding' soiree the end of May.  So let's see who all our adventurist birders are out there.  Even though many birds nest in the spring, there are quite a few birds that will lay eggs multiple times in a year.  And there is always next year.  According to my bird book, this house could attract the Tufted Titmouse, Black Capped Chickadee or a Wren.  So keep us posted with your comments and let us know what you think.

  4. I am considering looking for old boots to do this. Only thing is how would you hang it up?
