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!

Grateful

Last night as I working from home with my trusted laptop, I heard chirping outside my front window.  It was dusk, so I was surprised to hear a bird serenading me.  (Of course he was most likely singing to another bird, but I felt it was also for my pleasure as well)  When I got up to check things out it was lone House Sparrow in my Lilac bush right outside one of my front window.  Not sure what he was up to but I was truly grateful for having him there.

Later that night my husband and I were meeting up with San and her husband for dinner.  On the way there we saw a mysterious looking Moon hiding behind a thin layer of mist.  It was beautiful, and of course my first response was to email my BFF to make sure she saw it.  After dinner, the Moon was bright and radiant against the clear blackness of the night sky.  Again I was grateful that we take the time to notice all the wonderful things we can see and experience even in these difficult times.
