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!

Backyard Photographer - Sandi A.

Sharp-shinned Hawk (Juvenile)
As all our fellow birders know, Sandi (with an 'i') always has her camera at the ready.  Her yard is a virtual plethora of birds and water fowl.  To our left she captures a juvenile Sharp Shinned Hawk who seems to be very intently checking something out, perhaps his next meal.

Below we have a beautiful snowy backdrop as this wonderful creature tries to catch some sun on his wings.
Cormorant

Thanks for the donations Sandi.
