Siren Call

I practiced in front of the french doors today for the natural light, and for the view. No Bert today, just me, the uke, and a songbook • By the third song I noticed a large flock of goldfinches had gathered. Most were on the ground, but many decorated the lilac trees or collected on the feeders below. There were at least 40! I mentioned it to MrsP who was doing dishes. She now believes I’m a goldfinch siren. Who knew they liked the ukelele? Or do you think it was a coincidence? • Twelve dear deer visited the carrot and apple buffet last night, and it wasn’t even dark! For many this is their first winter. They all looked healthy • I don’t often capture two different birds on the feeder. One normally pushes the other out before I can squeeze off a shot, but not today. Notice the scowling face on the goldfinch, LoL! He was not happy about sharing with the intrusive nuthatch • Early blip today because of a late afternoon chiropractor appointment, then MrsP and I will stop at the grocery store to buy what we need to hunker down from the bitter cold that’s coming tomorrow and Saturday. Brrrrr!!
