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!

What to do for our 1 year Anniversary?

No new adventures to write about, no new bird to add to our list.  I have been home for the past three days, and I haven't seen many birds. 

All the feeders are full, sun was shining but only a stray Downy Woodpecker and a Dark-eyed Junco.

Of course as soon as I got my camera he refused to turn around for me.  But this is a sure sign that winter is just around the corner since Junco's winter on Long Island.  Which means Birds of a Feather will soon be celebrating our one year Anniversary. 

San and I are trying to think of a fitting way to commemorate this special occasion.  We could return to a spot we have visited in the past, or we could go to a new birding spot.  

San is putting together a list of birds we have yet to see here on Long Island.  So the logical choice would be a spot that can afford us the most opportunities to see the many birds that have alluded us all summer.

So we were wondering if any of our fellow birders had any ideas.  Let us know what you think.  I have a few ideas, but I would love to know what all of you think as well.  So leave us a comment and we will keep a list going on our blog.

    That's a great shot! Too bad little birdy was so camera shy.
