Hi y'all,
In the midst of my recently begun home-place hummer-revelry, a pair of
party-crashing Loggerhead shrikes show up in the backyard...gee whiz.
Other cool neighborhood birds this eve include a peewee, summer tanager and
a cpl of Gray catbirds. And the ethereal strains of that silken-voiced
songster the Wood Thrush closed out the daylight hours.
A pair of Gray treefrogs that have been living separate and apart behind
their own respective shutters all summer appear to be getting better
acquainted of late. I guess if you feel froggy, leap...they're a-singing
away about a foot from one another as I type this. Too cool...
Cheers y'all,
;-)
