This has nothing to do with music except for the beautiful songs of nature.
I lived most of my life in Chicago or the surrounding suburbs. Thirteen years ago I moved to a rural area of Michigan. I have 34 acres of land with 2200 feet of river frontage. If only the kids in the inner cities could see this stuff. I think it would be a better world. It was indeed a good day.
This is what I saw today in my yard.
5 Whitetail deer Wild Turkey( I have seen as many as 35 at once) Racoon Red Belly Woodpecker Red Headed Woodpecker Downy Woodpecker Hairy Woodpecker Eastern Phoebe(nesting in my shed) Baltimore Oriole Red Grossbeaks Rufous Sided Towee Wren(nesting in 2 of the birdhouses I made) Ruby Throated Hummingbird Redwing Blackbird American Goldfinch Red House Finch Indigo Bunting(the prettiest blue you have ever seen) Eastern Bluebird Blue Jay Tufted Titmouse Nuthatche Brown Creeper Cow Bird Black Cap Chickadee Robin Red Breast Sparrows (of course) several varieties Canada Geese Ducks Great Blue Heron
These are often seen among many others. Pileated Woodpeckers Sandhill Cranes Foxes Coyotes The Slate Juncos(snowbirds) are gone for the summer. This is just from my sunroom where I have my morning coffee. When I go down into the woods I see many other species of wildlife. Some day I think I’ll make a list of everything I have seen here. I even seen an Eagle once

"Do not endeavor to be the smartest kid in a dumb class. Instead, you are better off being the dumbest kid in the smartest class, where you will be challenged and you will learn. If you aren't growing, you are dying." -Brian Austin Whitney
