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!

Truly a Work of Art!

As I sit here on this second to the last day of May, I can't believe that the month is almost over.  Even though May seems to be a perfect birding month, it also is a perfect spring cleaning, get stuff done around the yard month.  So therefore, aside from our long service day together, Ar and I have not spent much time birding and bonding, together, that is.  Birding is a way of life for each of us and we discuss our birding experiences with each other, and we bond when we can find the time.  Perhaps June will find us off on our next birding adventure! 

For now, I wanted to share something our blogging buddy, Raven, discovered.  While out in the field, she found what we think to be a Robin's nest.  There were remnants of blue egg shells.  The nest was in the street.  Upon examining it, we marveled at the design and construction.  It was so beautifully made and so well made.  I am quite sure that Raven will blog about it, but I was anxious to share the picture.  I would love to do some research on the nest building of Robins.  I will try to do that if I can find the time, if Raven doesn't do it first.  The instictive wisdom of our feathered friends certainly testifies about the wisdom of our wonderful Creator, Jehovah!

P.S.  Our friend Raven researched this first.  If you want to get a Robin's perspective of nest building, please check out her post of June 1. 2010 at http://www.asthecrowflies-raven.blogspot.com/.
