My parents were here for a weekend visit. While they were here we did a little bird watching out the kitchen window. There was some debate about what a phoebe looks and sounds like. And some confusion about whether the bird we saw at the feeder was a chickadee or phoebe. I wasn't confused, actually. I was completely clueless. But my mom, my daughter, and The Player had an informed discussion about the topic. I sat idly by until I remembered the web sites that have bird sounds...so I opened up my trusty laptop and started searching. The dog and I had a great time listening to online bird sounds. The dog listening to the bird sounds was even more entertaining than the debate in the kitchen. It looked something like this:

In the kitchen the decision was that the bird was a chickadee. Out in the living room we never did figure out where that derned bird was hiding.

Delightful dog listening pix! And I was listening hard for imaginary birdsong as I read along!! (Sometimes I go to those websites, too!)

Sigh....about the cat.
