Yesterday while I was waiting for the bus I heard a cheery chirp of our neighborhood little fellow (Carolina Wren) in spite of temp being in single digit. He entertained me while I was waiting for a short time while waiting for the bus, may be just about two minutes.. Somewhere nearby there was also a House Finch singing.
I am also awed by the squirrels who never seem to be tired or bored of cold temperatures. They always seem to be cheerfully hopping around and digging for the cached nuts, except occasionally when they are chasing each other. Also while waiting for the bus, I saw the Red Squirrel from my yard showing an intention of wanting to go across the road and there was continuous traffic, so in my mind, I was begging him not to cross. He stopped for a few seconds at the entrance of the driveway looking this way and that and then also decided it was no safe to cross the road and he crossed the driveway and went into yews. I was relieved that he was safe, but only to find a few seconds later he is crossing the road! But a very smart guy, he had climbed up the electric pole in the yard and was crossing overhead on the electrical wires! I felt stupid that I thought him to be dumb =-O Today morning I have heard Tufted Titmouse, Blue Jays and Crows calling. I feel while I am listening to music, I have been hearing something else singing, may be a Robin, or may it is just my brain that has been tricking me .
