So Linda, with her Brooklyn accent, sang the Cardinal + Mourning Dove - tear, tear, tear, whoo- whoo- whoo. She's nuts. I've got my work cut out for me!<BR/><BR/>I love this poem, too. Found it in a little book called Songs for Birds.LauraHinNJhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08329387562570495570noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18784445.post-1146765423561586202006-05-04T12:57:00.000-05:002006-05-04T12:57:00.000-05:00That poem rules.

If you're up for it, I'd love for you to let us know over at whorled leaves when you post anything related to books and the natural world.

I loved reading your blog this a.m. as I listened to the birds (and the morning radio)! The poem by E.B. White was a true delight! I look forward to more birdsong lessons...may even consider that early morning walk...as long as I know it will be followed by a delicious brunch and perhaps some shopping too!<BR/><BR/>LindaAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18784445.post-1146653163201515422006-05-03T05:46:00.000-05:002006-05-03T05:46:00.000-05:00You are so good at timely posts!

I also am wishing I had access to some of the tapes we had twenty years ago - owl calls, warbler songs, the song birds. Can't find anything even hinting that they used to exist.<BR/><BR/>The EBWhite poem is delightfulEndmenthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13711896605197134394noreply@blogger.com
