After birding in the wind and rain most of the day, watching this Merlin eat his meal in the hot tub at Mary’s (us in the hot tub, not the merlin) was quite copacetic!!!
Interesting Blue Jay vocalizations this morning in Hyde Park on my walk. 20-30 blue jays over a 100-125 yards were all making the same teedle call. Went on for over 5 minutes. Also some of the clicking or croaking noise they make. Since FB doesn’t have an easy way to add mp3 file, ill email…
