Couldn't resist mentioning
Just picked a nice fresh bowl of strawberries, last year we used netting mostly to keep chipmunks from them. This year we improved on the netting set up. Thus far it's looking good.
I like to hear Cat Birds though we don't have them in the yard...they talk stream of conciseness.. at least that is how I refer to them. Just talking away any thing that strikes it's fancy.
A Mocking bird on the other hand seems to mostly repeat things in sets of four.
It nice when you can pick them out by their "conversations"... the Cat Bird...laddi dadi da blah blee so id do meow etc etc.....endlessly
the Mocking bird..."look at that".."look at that"..."look at that"..."look at that"
it's me... it's me... it's me... it's me
I think the birds are related but need to go to a communication workshop
