Lark's Song

Early 'fore the break of dawn

the chipper lark will carry on

echoing his voice refrain

through the valley, hill, and plain.

He calls to me for which it be

my name he knows and sings replete

of flowers that will bloom in Spring

and all the Earth, what it will bring!

He understands the thicket dense

the underbrush, and what lies hence. 

He shares the gentleness of rain

within his heart, a sweet refrain.

Now you've got me going -
Did I ever tell you Im from Ireland? No, well - I am, ask anyone round here.
Thats not what I was gonna say though - what I was gonna say was that a certain local bird's numbers round these parts is in decline and the scientists have deduced that its because of mobile/cell phone ringtones.
Apparently, in order to outdo rival males - its mostly males that sing to attract a female - they need to have a wide repertoire of songs. The more songs the better apparently. So anyway, males of this species in question are picking up the cell phone ringtones and imitating them. You'd think that was clever right? But the females apparently don't like the ringtones (no - Im not kidding). They like the traditional songs so they are choosing males that don't have the brains to copy the ringtones ergo the less superior males - ergo they dont make as a good a mate - ergo the numbers are in decline.

Isnt that very interesting ?? - no..? okay I'll get my coat and leave now... lol

Yes? So sorry to hear about the birds. Did you know the Whooping Cranes are having a hard time too because of a severe drought's toll on drying estuaries and wind farms, whose blades, apparently, kill them during migration flight path? And the bees, menacingly enough, have been declining in numbers. Without them, we have no pollination. Hoping to participate in a Lemon Queen Sunflower Study by growing sunflowers and counting bees that land for 15 min each day to help get an idea of how many, where, etc.. Happy to know of your home. Roots from there as well. Aye. By the way, tons of bees on thyme growing at Church! Even bees know where to go.
