i woke up to the sound of a bird singing as if positioned inside an echo chamber...i am like, "wow, maximum effect!" eventually (after the sun came up) i found what i think to be (no reverb involved) an eastern towhee? (it was not an oriole, for the white breast tuft) but the eastern towhee songs that i found did not quite match....maybe it was an unrepresentative eastern towhee song! anyway it was pretty cool

Spent today at the So. Maryland Celtic Festival today, had a blast, weather was outstanding and drove to a little place called Stoneys and had a world famous crab cake, really enjoyed these guys .The video is from last year.

pardon my going on a bit, but i wish my description up there about the towhee bird song could do it justice, it just had the coolest effect. i honestly thought there had to be some kind of wacky acoustics involved, but no, it was all him!

the first i ever heard this song was when a friend sang it....i was like, wow

cleared out the garden bed and along with it, a fascinating study in
weeds....today's weed i learned about is of a ballistic seed launching
variety. and as i found out, in its earlier leafy stage, is edible.
but of course, do your own research!

here is some information about it narrowed down in a couple of videos

here it is shown at a different time of year (showing the edible bits)

i was sorry to hear about dr joyce brothers :(

again, any resemblance to real persons, living or dead, are purely coincidental

i loved hearing what you had to say!

So sorry to hear about her. RIP...

i liked the way she talked so openly or frankly about various topics....that is what i saw anyways. oddly enough, i didn't see very much of her (never even saw the movie that clip was from), but what little i did see, that is what i got from it, and i always liked her.
