In the distance from atop some weeds a rusty hinge squeaked out 3 notes.
♪Me. Me. Me. ♪
I looked around perplexed. It did not sound like anything I knew, yet, there was something familiar about the 3 creaky notes. Like an opera diva warming up.

When I got closer I saw it was a Sparrow croaking out the 3 notes again and again. It is something I never thought of before, but makes sense. Like anything else, if you don’t use your voice for a while you know how rusty it becomes. Maybe it’s the same for birds. Are at least it was for this bird. He just repeated the same 3 notes over and over.

As I walked by I sang under my breath, ♬ put on your teakettle,leddle,leddle. ♬
Ooooh, if looks could kill….

One white-throat to another?
Too cute! How did you do those musical notes? Very cool!
The musical notes are from the Twitter Keys pad. You can get it at http://bitly.com/aFFa
How cute! I love the “put on your teakettle leddle leddle”
Tee hee…he told you!
You captured exactly the notes of the Song Sparrow!
I think I’ve seen that expression before. “Excuuuuse me, but who’s the Song Sparrow here?”
Wonderful BPW post, Bev!
