🎶 I’m up early enjoying a cup of coffee. After the birthday celebrations yesterday, my mother’s apartment is still and quiet. Outside a blackbird is singing its heart out. I grew up listening to and loving this bird’s song. I recognize anywhere - here in England, or while watching a movie set in this country. For me, it’s the sound of spring and long summer evenings here.

@JohnBrady I love that idea...connecting across the ocean through the sounds of birds. The website All About Birds has this recording of the English Blackbird, and this recording of the American Robin.

@JohnBrady Yes.
