Going off to look up all the American birds in my bird book. I met some of them on our trip last year. I often think about the sad songs of the Mourning Doves and the truly mad all-day concerts performed by Mocking Birds.
We were at a musical gathering over the weekend and we were treated to some amazing bird songs by birds that are forest dwellers. We don't hear them often out on the plains. Butcher birds - beautiful voices and killers of little birds. Like the murder ballads that sound so lovely but tell of such horror.
Wild laughter of Kookaburras. They laugh in counterpoint. True-Love never tires of hearing them. He says there's nothing on Earth that sounds like a Kookaburra. Cheers, Joy
