The robins sound like castanets, the redwings have a simple single wistle, same pitch, the sparrows haven't said anything worth listening to, the cardinals only make a kissing sound....I miss their summer songs.

Orioles will arrive last week or April or first week of May. Need to get some jelly and oranges and have them ready. Hummingbirds come about the same time. Have to make some sugar water and have it ready in the frig in case they come early.

Cold and blowing, thunder and lightening....I hope the trees have a better time of it since this year, they did not have a false spring in March.

Blue jays are, as you say, hollering for peanuts. I don't think they have a nice song in summer, but the way they look more than makes up for it.

Enjoy....
