Also luv to listen to the Baltimore Orioles song too. Probably my fav though is the Robin. Listening to the robin as it starts to get dark in early spring as it sits high in the leafless tree is the best sound you can hear as it means the days are getting longer and warmer weather is coming out way. Brings me a smile all spring long.

Turkeys roosting and Owls hootin

P. another favorite of mine is the wood thrush singing in the summer
evening. Had one nest in my rhodies near the front porch one year.

I think they are related to the robin family as they like to stay in the
marshy areas of the woods.
