It was cool and breezy when I took Lucy out this morning, and at 7:30 on a Sunday we had the complex all to ourselves.
Except for the birds, that is. They, too, must have been invigorated by the sun, the breeze, and the blue sky, for they seemed to be singing their little avian hearts out. On a lark (see what I did there 😉) I pulled out my phone and launched the bird identification app, then hit the sound i.d. button. The program disaggregated the chorus into the songs of a Mockingbird, Brown Thrasher, House Sparrow, Red-bellied Woodpecker, House Wren, Crow, Robin, Mourning Dove, Blue Jay, Cardinal, House Finch, Cedar Waxwing, and Rose-breasted Grosbeak.
Who knew we had so much company?
