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!

Spring is in the air!!

Today is the first day of spring!  Flowers are blooming and every morning I wake up to birds singing.    Spring has got to be the most wonderful season of all.

Spring is the transition period between winter and summer. Spring and "springtime" inspire ideas of rebirth, renewal and regrowth.

This morning I heard Dove's cooing, Sparrow's singing and all I want to do and stay home sit in my hammock and watch the birds prepare for their spring dances of romance and mate finding.

Alas I am already at the office so no bird watching today unless one lands on the tree outside my window.

I hung my natural fiber bird nest on Saturday, so I am anxious to see if any bird finds it inviting and chooses to make it home.  I was told that finches would like this type of nest.  So, I will keep you posted!
