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!

Ooops!!!

We need to issue our first retraction.  We were so caught up in the excitement of seeing so many birds that we misspoke when we listed the Common Merganser as a year round Duck on Long Island.  

They actually don't arrive on Long Island until around March each year.  So to remain true to our original goal  we will remove them from our list.   

We know that most of our followers wouldn't have been none the wiser, so we offer this apology to all who were offended by our faux pas.   We shall keep birding.
