I've had 12 species of warblers in my backyard so far this spring, including a new yard bird...a Mourning Warbler. Yard species #104. Not bad for being in the middle of a big city.
I was shocked to learn that the word "onion" didn't have a "g" in it. I think I heard the backwoods pronunciation "ung-yun" and made a pretty good assumption!
That's a gray catbird. I love those...Great "personality" and they are big-time mimics. I'll just sit and listen to them cycle through songs and calls.
It's a warbler party in my backyard right now. I think I counted 12 Tennessees, 3 Nashvilles, two Yellows, and a Redstart in and around my pond's waterfall just now.
I'm currently in Lubbock for my son's graduation and I hope it's the last time I come here.
The other night it basically rained mud. And it's been hotter than Satan's butthole. It's 97° at almost 7pm.
NYT games are responsible for my proudest achievements in life, even above my kids' births :) . I'm rocking a crossword streak of 809 right now and Connections are at 245.
