Birding and Bonding: 2015

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!

We're Back!

After a hiatus of about one year because of life and technical difficulties, we are happy to announce that we are back on line. We have a lot of tweaking to do on our new blog, but we expect to be fully functioning within a week or so.

We have an upcoming "Big Day" on May 9. Sponsored by Cornell Lab of Ornithology, this is a worldwide birding event. So far there are 80 countries participating. The goal is to log a whopping 4000 species of birds on that one day. Arlene and I will do our humble part. Please check back next week to see how we made out!
