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!

Too Many Rules!!!

As we collaberate on our Bird and Bond Fest Blog, my partner in crime continues to remind me that I have "Too Many Rules!"  As others have mentioned, and Ar agrees, Bird of the Week should continue as long as there are birds singing, whether they be year-round birds or birds of summer.  So rather than be a stickler for rules, I will bend to the majority and continue to post Bird of the Week, provided that I hear "Said Bird" singing during the week, whether here year-round or for the summer or for a weekend or whatever.   If I hear it singing during the week, I will feature it.  After all, we are privileged to have many summer bird visitors to Long Island.  Why not get to know them!!??  And so there it is-- I respectfully yield to my fellow birders...:)

    Sounds like a good idea. Thanks for yielding!
    Will be anxiously awaiting to hear bird of the week whether they are here year round, summer,or weekends. Do they come to "Bed and Breakfast" on the weekends?
