(Well, okay, there's some mating involved, too, I think.) Sometimes it's hard when the robin is expressing itself right out the bedroom window, but if they were silent, then it would be an awful world.<br /><br />dfBag Lady, yup. Best part of the day. Ah, the woodpecker. They do like to announce themselves. I know what you mean about variety. We had brown-headed cowbirds at the feeder, and several varieties of sparrow.Leah J.

Well, except, perhaps, for the woodpecker who is using the metal siding on the shop for telegraphing his message more loudly! At 4 am.<br />:)<br />Our cold spring weather has had a small bonus, at least, in that it has brought far more varieties of birds to our feeders this spring! So there is something to be grateful for in even the nasty weather!the Bag Ladyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17434610508260994331noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1892083748555571767.post-47511655313597989422009-05-25T05:15:55.435-06:002009-05-25T05:15:55.435-06:00I shall try to learn from your gratitude!

This time of year we get a lot of birds that like to wake up about 4am and start singing--loudly.<br /><br />Love them during the day, not so much when I'm woken from a dead sleep.<br /><br />But I miss them when they're gone! So I'll try to be more grateful while they're here.Crabby McSlackerhttp://www.crankyfitness.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1892083748555571767.post-24642399931046554622009-05-25T04:38:24.683-06:002009-05-25T04:38:24.683-06:00I know what you mean.
