[Mnbird] Tropical sounds and scene

[Pamela Brustman]

How beautiful.
I too have had to run with the jelly to refill for the demanding orioles.
They chatter at me, scolding that I should allow their jelly to get low or
empty.
Tut, tut, tut, tut, tuttututututututut they scold.

The rain seems to be welcomed by everything - my yard too is full of
bird song and calls this morning more so than I have heard I swear, all
summer.
Everyone is celebrating the rain!
