Birdsongs by Betsy Franco, Steve Jenkins Dragonflies The Perfect Birding CompanionThroughout the day and into the night various birds sing their songs, beginning with the woodpecker who taps a pole ten times and counting down to the hummingbird who calls once. The sky is quiet. The yard is quiet. The creek is quietly gurgling. Then tat, tat, tat, tat, tat, tat, tat, tat, tat, tat! A red capped woodpecker starts his rap for the day. Next comes nine soft coos from the mourning doves, followed by the chipping of a flurry of sparrows.
