Within the space of just a few days, scads of birds have returned.
As I type, I can hear a ruby crowned kinglet right outside the window
Just a few minutes ago, a cacophony of squawking and squeeking occured as two Sandhill Cranes flew over the house. Those cranes make the most unbelievable noises!
This morning, a varied thrush was thrumming loudly (a varied thrush call sounds like a pitch pipe) as I was attempting to become one with the universe via zen meditation.
The slate colored juncos have been here for several days as have my favorites loud mouths - the red neck grebes. The grebes are hilarious - they have loud loud insistant mating cries. And these guys start as soon as it gets light - which in a few weeks will be around 3:00 AM. It gets difficult to sleep with all that sex going on outside the window.
And to top it off, when I looked out the window to spot the Sandhill Cranes - I was wondering if they had landed in our yard, I saw Micro Moose trying to turn one of our birdfeeders inside out.
