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!

A Feel Good Photo

Usually I am the one that is MIA from the blog.  Now it seems that we both have been guilty of that.  Even birding and bonding once a month has proved to be challenging in the past few months.  Ar with her move and me down in Florida.

Even though my reason for going to Florida was a sad one, I couldn't help but get excited at seeing this Red-Headed Woodpecker while strolling through the subdivision.  This bird is declining in the Northeast, but can still be seen on Long Island in the summer months. 


An amazing creation of Jehovah's can do a heart good!

We are planning to do some birding in March AND it is almost time for Bird of the Week to begin again.  Hope we haven't lost our loyal readers!  Stay tuned.
