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!

Some Updates

Found out a few days ago that my new friend Kimmy and my old friend Kimmy have lots of wild parakeets in their old Copaigue stomping ground.  Have pursuaded one of the Kimmys to give up the exact location, which she was more than happy to reveal.  It seems these birds make their nests on the warm electical transformers, and are here all year round.  Ar and I will have to go have a look-see.

Also found out today, (from a very reliable source), that Seatuck is now open to the public.  It has opened an Environmental and Educational Center.  There is a calendar of events at www.seatuck.org. Must have a look-see there as well.

Birding expedition planned for the end of the week.  Hope we have lots to share!
