Happy Bird Samba

The birds in the 'hood must have been thrilled at the things turned up following last night's heavy rainfall or were showing their appreciation for the patches of blue sky and sunshine this morning, because they had quite the conga line about 7:30 a.m.  I stood with Folded Ear Cat, who gave them some chatter backtalk and eavesdropped as they fluttered and swooshed from tree to tree.  This is my water cooler action these days - at the front window with Folded Ear Cat, her tiny ears twitching, trying to decipher what must be some good gossip in the avian community, because they were telling some sort of story.
