    Oh how true this poem is for me. Ours avian friends have all seemed to vanish and only one or two accidentally find our feeder. A bird’s song in December around here would indeed be a “magical thing.”

    Oh gosh, it never occurred to me that northern winters lose birdsong! While I was in Costa Rica I used my camera’s video feature just to capture the wonderful sounds. I could really see a therapeutic need for a big screen TV playing the sights & sounds of summer on endless loop. Let me know if you want me to send my bird song video!

      Oh, please do! I have a couple music CDs mixed with birdsong and flowing streams to listen to when I long to hear their soothing sounds. A video sounds nice. Here the stream becomes frozen and mute and the birds are so far away in winter. I’ve often thought of setting up a camera to record it in summer to play back in the winter.
