Birding and Bonding: Backyard Birding

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!

Backyard Birding

It was such a beautiful day today, so as I had breakfast in my usual spot at my kitchen table. When I saw our Ruby-throated Hummingbird. And I thought since San and I don't have any outings planned, I should do some backyard birding.

So I will show a pictorial of all the birds I saw that morning and the afternoon when I returned home to spend time in my Hammock. As soon as the Hawk showed up everyone fled, but it was nice while it lasted.
