Thank you! I haven't experienced that so much yet since birds did not hang around my old town house. I'm sure I'll hear it where I am now!

[link] here's one from my old home...I've seen a few at my new area but the acorn woodpeckers drive most other birds away so we don't get to have them singing for mates and territories...
