Bird Watching

When I was little, my grandpa and I, used to go to the nature park and bird watch. He was an avid bird watcher and knew all the birds by their coloration and calls. He would bring his book and binoculars and we would sit and watch and listen.

Well, I was outside yesterday morning, drinking my morning cup of coffee, relaxing and I heard a bird chirping and about died when I heard this call. Now I swear, and I'm not crazy that the birds are now adapting to technology! Several months ago, I was sitting outside and I heard a bird that sounded exactly like the Nextel chirp. Anyways...this particular chirp that I heard yesterday, sounded exactly like Quagmire...yes Quagmire from The Family Guy. I heard a distinct "Giggedy giggedy". Unfortunately, there was no one there to share in my enthusiasm...so instead...what a great post. Since it has been awhile after all!

Maybe you were hearing the majestic call of the Cock-Swallow or the Pecker Wood or maybe the Tit Mouse. Dirty Birdy
