Tuning Up
It isn't officially spring yet, but the weather's definitely taken a turn for the warmer today, and the birds were responding. They're beginning to sing, so I can start learning the songs of species I couldn't learn in Maryland.
The one I pegged today was the Spotted Towhee: two or three chirps and then a higher-pitched rattling trill. At the same time, it was nice to hear a good old Mourning Dove, as well as the White-winged and Eurasian Collared varieties. I'll get the latter two sorted out eventually.
And on another upbeat note: while a full-time job continues to elude me, the freelance proofreading continues steady.
