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!

An Added Treat!

Well the Birding and Bonding Party was a success!  We will blog about that as soon as we get our collective thoughts together.  In the meantime, we were happy to be able to add another bird to our list.  We both have, no doubt, seen this bird before, however, the Purple Finch is very hard to differentiate from the House Finch, especially from a distance.    As mentioned in the June 3rd blog, they are similar in appearance.  Thanks to the thistle feeder conglomerate outside Ar's kitchen window, we were able to get a good long look at Mr. Purple Finch!  It was a great start to an even better afternoon. Looking forward to sharing the experience.  And for all those who were not able to make it, we are looking at October for another one.
