It's the most wonderful time of the year!
With the bird numbers swelling,
They seem to be telling you "Be of good cheer!"
It's the most wonderful time of the year!
It's the hap-happiest season of all!
With those warblers arriving and empids contriving,
Oh birds come to call
It's the hap- happiest season of all.
There'll be orioles for hosting
And grosbeaks for toasting
And tanagers all in a row
There'll be awesome bird stories
And tales of the glories of
Great birders long, long ago!
It's the most wonderful time of the year!
There'll be much mate displaying
But no tapes a'playing
When migrants are near.
It's the most wonderful time of the year!
It's the most wonderful time
It's the most wonderful time
It's the most wonderful time
It's the most wonderful time of the year!
Every May morning is like Christmas morning to me and thousands of birders in the northern hemisphere! Something new and surprising around every corner.
Here's a sampler of what I've been seeing in my patch:
Good grief Robert! You've become Digiscoping king!
