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 Apple a day theory

I have been wondering which  birds were eating the apples I have been putting in my fruit feeder, and my diligent watchfulness finally paid off.

Even though in the past I have seen the Baltimore Oriole eating from my fruit, this time though it was the Red Breasted Woodpecker.

The apple doesn't look very appetizing, but the woodpeckers loved it.  I now have a new one up, so we will keep feeding as long as they keep coming back for more.
