More songbirds are in town now as the seasons turn once again. A particular bird song caught my attention this morning, I've decided it is distinctly urban. First there is a series of beautiful tweets......tweet tweet tweet tweet.......and then the surprise of a suddenly nasal flat blaaaaaaaaat sound. Like hearing gorgeous music swell from a car idling at a traffic light nearby. Just when everyone within earshot is in the groove of that music, a loud obnoxious car horn sounds, reminding us all to wake up and pay attention to where we are. Or like admiring a colorful mural in an alley, getting lost in the swirls and images, only to be brought back to earth by the sight and smell of garbage overflowing a dumpster. Urban. Gritty. Unpredictable. It's for the birds. Tweet tweet tweet tweet.......blaaaaaaaaaaaaat!

Submitted by Sarah on Mon, 03/13/2006 - 8:40am.I empathize with the auto exhaust experience. I've been caught often in clouds of exhaust from cars in parking lots and on the road, I probably should buy a gas mask.
