Anyway it is peacock mating season here, they cry out night and day and the males do their dance. Before long we will have the mothers with their chicks following behind. After 9 years in this neighborhood I accept it as all part of the show!

We can only hope that some enlightened judge may intervene. And in the meantime, we should do whatever we can to support the organizations that are fighting for our environment and our health. Perhaps most importantly, we must do whatever we can wherever we are to kick this administration into the dustbins of history where it belongs!

Yellow Warbler is among the species we have encountered feeding cowbird young, and we have pictures. Other species include Chipping Sparrow, Song Sparrow and one other that my ancient brain won't summon right now. Just remembered - Red-eyed Vireo!David M.
