This morning. along Leonard Rd., Susie located a LOUISIANA WATERTHRUSH perched high in a tree. It took me a while to see it. This is the first she has ever actually seen. It did not sing, but gave only a weak version of its typical call note. It's about a week late for this location. A little

Isn't it a shame that people need to listen to their iPods for music when the birds give us beautiful music for free. I can understand it once the birds quiet down late summer, but not now. Sent from my iPad On Apr 16, 2012, at 1:51 PM, Meena Haribal m...@cornell.edu wrote: It was awesome
