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!

Birding is Contagious!!!

If you haven't tried it, you're missing out on a great pastime.  Of course, perhaps, birding is not for everyone, but for those who have been bitten by the birding bug, it can bring a great deal of joy and excitement.

We wanted to share these photos from one of our followers, Tom.  He has been visiting the nest of the Ospreys at Sunken Meadow, patiently waiting for that perfect shot.  Sometimes that happens, sometimes not quite.  And while we always strive for a great photo, joy can come from simple observation.  After receiving the photos, Tom informed me that Ospreys take off and land into the wind.  How wise Jehovah made them!

We wanted to share Tom's enthusiasm with the rest of our readers.  Here are some of his photos.




Thanks Tom for sharing our passion!
