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!

Sometimes life gets in the way!

Our dreams and desires can get sidetracked by life itself.  This blog is a case in point.  Our love of birding has gotten shelved due to the unexpected angste of everyday life.  The love of birding is still there, we just have not been able to rise to the birding occasion.  Time will, no doubt, afford us opportunities in the future to get back on track.  In the meantime, Ar and I were able to do a little birding, unofficially, in Ocean City, Maryland.  Here is a few of our birding shots.

Royal Tern

Franklin's Gull

Turkey Vulture

There was a pair of pelicans that did a fly-by everyday.

Brown Pelicans



Also on the beach the Sanderlings were abundant.  They were so busy looking for food that, on occasion, they had to take a little snooze right on the beach!

We thoroughly enjoyed our trip to Ocean City.  Who knows, with global warming, perhaps these birds will come to reside on Long Island year-round!

    Sorry about my non-activity in our blog. I feel like I've forgotten how to be me.
