There is a morning radio feature that we love. It's called Bird Note and each day we hear a little information/trivia about birds. It usually starts with the bird call of the featured subject. It's pretty cool and really makes us focus on the wonderful NW birds.
We have many tall, old (ish) growth trees in our backyard. There is one that the ravens really love to land on, make a few caws and move on. I missed it but Tim told me that two humungous eagles decided to make a pit stop there for lunch today. He said he heard a giant racket and wasn't even sure what it was. We know the ravens have a variety of calls but these were definitely not ravens. He looked out and spotted the eagles. They were really going at it. Not necessarily in a bad way, but they were definitely fully engaged in some sort of avian negotiations. I'm wondering if there is some nesting situation going on. We'll have to keep our eyes and ears open for updates.
Yesterday I started a piece on trying to duplicate in words the sounds of individual birds. I wish I could replicate the correct vowel and consonant and pronounciation of the sounds that come from our winged friends. I can't even name the various species but I sure wish I could reproduce the sounds into letters. I'll just have to keep listening to the birds talk. It sure beats the news.
