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!

Where have all the birds gone?

It is already the end of November and I don't think Sandy and I have managed to go birding more than three times in 2012.

Our goal or quest was to use our love of birding to help us make time to do this together.  But alas, this year has someone how eluded us and passed by much to quickly.

Last month I was looking out my kitchen window and I saw my first Dark Eyed Junco.  What is remarkable about this is that they only winter on Long Island and if they are here already then where on earth has the year gone?

So here we are on November 27th, and we are trying to plan something for this weekend.  But as always there are time constraints we must work with, service and other obligations.

Let's hope we spot some birds!
