V is for Voices

20170424_151410Outside my office window there’s been a chorus of song all day, everyday, this week. The white crown sparrows are hanging out and singing away. You can hear them HERE. Make sure to choose HD. You can also see VIDEO of a hummingbird that was perching and flitting by my window today.

    Hi, Sheri. What a cool blog setup!

    It’s 6:30 AM here. The window is open still from having listened to the steady rain last night. And the birds are quite enthusiastic about starting this day.

    It’s good to know that you have the birds to “reverse complain” in your ear all day at work, no matter who else may. 🙂

    1. Indeed! Their chatter is so cheerful. And today I can also hear the steady rain…comforting. I’m on my own at work today, so I’m enjoying the company of the birds too. Have a great day, Erik!

    You too, Sheri. Nice to start the day with a shared experience, even from opposite coasts.

  3. I don’t believe we have the white crowns here in Colorado, although I could be mistaken. They have a beautiful song!

    1. Just checked Cornell for you: https://www.allaboutbirds.org/guide/White-crowned_Sparrow/id Yes, you have them. They’re my favorite for length and variety of song. I learned to spot them several years ago when bird-watching with my brother. There was one perched on a central tree that we kept passing throughout the day and he was always singing his heart out. He sang his way into mine. The little flock of them has continued to spend much of the day by my window. I hope they’ll be here all season.

      1. Well, I’ll be darned! And also knitted! I didn’t realize we had that species. Thanks for checking!
