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!

"The Big Year"

Just clicked on one of our links, chatterBird, and found this tidbit of information.  On May 5, 2010 they started filming a birdwatching comedy, yes, you heard it right, a birdwatching comedy called "The Big Year", starring Owen Wilson, Jack Black and Steve Martin. They play a trio of competitive birdwatchers who, over the course of a year, try to outdo each other through a series of supposedly outlandish stunts.  Some of the supporting actors who have signed on are Anjelica Huston, Brian Dennehy and Dianne Wiest.  This film is under the direction of David Frankel, who previously brought us Devil Wears Prada and Marley & Me.  Whether this turns out to be thumbs up or thumbs down, I think any birdwatcher would get a chuckle out of it!
