More than one cuckoo

....but we have bats.
Finches. Some doves. Lots of pigeons.
They're petty good at waiting until the last second before being run over.
I have a birdbath out front.
I've always said, if reincarnation is a thing, I wanna be a peregrine falcon.
Zoooom!!!

are you, who, who, who, who!
Nah, not Owls, we have several of those at times.
One of the golf courses I worked at had some huge nesting owls right near the cart barn. And after hanging out together alone with them on many a summers eve, I could actually get them to talk with me….oh, what did they say you ask? “Drive for show, putt for doe, gotta work on that short game Hoss!”
Perhaps the coolest of our local birds are all the different big raptors we have, though the. huge Turkey Vultures are most impressive.
We’re fortunate to have a wetlands close by that they’ve been fixing up and depending on time of year it’s a veritable treasure trove of our winged friends. I look forward to utilizing the app to learn more about them, cept beware the moors at night…

Oro, be careful after dark, some people claim birds came from dinosaurs... why they have lizard feet. Since the next guess with the woowoo and time of day would be owls, it's obviously not owls...? If you want to hear some weird sounds, check out calls various juvenile owls make, also found in Merlin.

....last Five.
Phish - Spartanburg, SC 10.29.94. Latest archival release.
GOGD - Giants Stadium 7.9.89.
Metal Church - Congegration Of Annihilation.
King Gizzard - Quarters!
Steely Dan - Pretzel Logic.

….but even my dumb ass knows “my” bird isn’t a morning Dove. It actually makes many woo woo sounds in quick almost staccato succession and extended duration often as they take flight. The pitch rises a bit and then falls over the course of the song. I’ve never been able to see any as their usually only active at night, or dusk.
BUT!! via my good bird brained amigos here at DN I now have the Merlin app on device and ready to capture my prey if you will, hopefully this evening…though I’m not sure their fully arrived yet. I briefly heard one recently, but that’s it. Eventually they will fill the night air for their somewhat short visit. Certainly not the best Bird Song ever but pretty sweet (see, got the dead connection in there ; )

Now if the VGN can just tidy things up this evening….

It's the taking part that counts.

Absolutely!!!
Wanted to thank all for kind words a couple of weeks ago in regard to the passing of my mother.

Ole Pops is looking pretty weak. Oh well.

Not sure I'll post part 2, as it is an example one who failed the test...
