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!

Wild Parrot Alert!

Got it from a good source (Virgie) that there is a big green bird hanging out in Rocco's backyard!  There are wild parrots here on Long Island.  They are often seen in Brooklyn.  The two photographs are pictures of Brooklyn parrots.  They have also been spotted in other locations across the Island.  We went to check it out for ourselves.  We found Rocco, but not the big green bird, although we did see the two nests that he was hanging around.  (The bird, that is, not Rocco)  Rocco is on birdwatch duty now and he said we could birdwatch in his backyard anytime.  So keep your eyes peeled next time you pay a visit to Rocco!
