Wait until they start chattering, they'll drive you crazy with all their different sounds.

Nice photo

Thanks Al,

I'm sure they won't be here long so I could stand a bit of chattering, he, he...



Cheers, Don

hey, nice. Recently a pair has nested in or near our yard. They're really fun to watch, but not as bold as their cousins the catbirds and mockingbirds. Same vocals though. It's funny, if you listen and pay attention, you can tell who else is in the yard even though you might not be able to see them. If the catbirds start singing like finches, they're around. I swear they mimic what they heard most recently sometimes.
