"This is the violet hour, the hour of hush and wonder, when the affectations glow and valor is reborn, when the shadows deepen along the edge of the forest and we believe that, if we watch carefully, at any moment we may see the unicorn."

Animal Wednesday - Mockingbird Melodies


Ah, our warm, *Summery* weather has faded away as the SF Fog declared "two days was enough"! It's 30 degrees cooler...

Anyway, above is a small vignette of a Mocking bird (not *my* Mocker - but very, very like in size and song) serenading his neighbourhood!  Hopefully, this one does NOT begin at 3:00 a.m.!  HAW-HAW!
Happy Animal Wednesday!

Love,

♥ Robin ♥

    oh that fog!, although after coming home from 100 degree weather it was kind of nice.

    3 am birds remind of babies, i've been awakened countless times!

    i'm hoping for sun for you!

    Hi Lori.... yes, as much as fog can be stifiling...after long days in extreme heat, it is a blessing. I loved your post, by the way....I am spending so much time at the Opera, I don't visit as much as I should....

    Stunning photos m' dear!!

    Kiss Owen!

    Love,

    Hi CS....I figured you for a *Mockingbird Girl"!

    They are so talented.... and how can one be upset when they sing their tiny hearts out - even at 3:00 a.m.!!!

    Hope your Summer is going gorgeously!

    Hugs,

    ♥ Robin ♥

    Suki, yes, thick, low-lying fog IS mysterious and romantic, but pale grey constant overcast is another thing... I am always sun-needy....

    Opera is definitely NOT over....we have just begin Cycle 2 of our "Ring"...one more Cycle after that....it all ends 3rd July.

    More photos taken last night.....will post them soon!

    Love to you and Bibitty,

    ♥ Robin ♥

    Marianne... the *Weather-Gods* heard you...there is a bit of sun peeking through the clouds! Blue skies are so inspiring!!!!

    Mr. Mockingbird is singing away as I write this.... I wonder how his little vocal cords can produce so much sound for so long a time!

    How was Panama?

    Love,

    I love this little video! such a funny bird. as I was watching it struck me that this bird makes all those sounds without LIPS! Now I know that no birds have lips...but it still struck me as funny somehow.
    Happy animal wednesday - LAte me

    Hallo Robin,

    Danke scheoen fuer das schoene Video clip. Ich liebe Mockingbirds. Wir haben auch so viele hier und jeden Tag wache ich auf die Voegel singen zu hoeren und spaeter meinen Kaffee trinken und sie beim Spiel draussen anzuschauen...Es ist sehr arg heiss und schwuehl dass man fast den ganzen Tag im Haus ist, aber wenn man rechtzeitig Frueh aufsteht, kann man schon etwas draussen sein um die Natur zu bewunders.

    Ich wuensche Dir ein wunderschoenes Wochenende und viel Spass.

    Doris (und Gizzy)

    i can't listen to the video because i am sitting with company and all but i are watching a movie, BUT: i have become a true blue bird fan. i hear the warbles each morning and i watch the quick movements and turns of their heads and i know the world is alright.

    but still my favorite: when the red red robin comes bob bob bobbing alone...

    love
