[rec.birds] Catbirds

JAHAYES@MIAMIU.BITNET (07/30/90)

We've recently experienced a very substantial boom in catbird
populations around here.  Are they fledging their kids about
now?  These all appear to be full grown adults....
 
We also have two families of flickers who apparently can recognize
the sound of a power lawnmower; they travel around the neighborhood
picking through the just-mown patches, often while the mower is still
going!
