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!

Nesting Material Dispenser

Since we are getting near to our Birding and Bonding party I thought I should set it up a bit by providing even more ideas that someone could do at our little shindig. 

I hang out nesting material every spring and I always have a lot of birds visiting it and pulling at it so they can make them homes as comfortable as possible, not all birds nest on twigs.

What's great about this is that you can use practically anything to fill it including hair, string old yarn.

So look around your house, pull the hair out of your brush and scavenge what you can out of your garage and let's use it  in our Nesting Material Dispensers.

  2. I don't have much time at all. Wish I had more. I work on them late into the night, and post them the next day.

    PS: Most women shed a lot of hair.
