get a girlfriend already, mockingbird pete.

did you know that male mockingbirds sing at night to find a mate? yup, and they have like up to 400 different tunes.

true story. why do we know this? oh, because we have a mockingbird who lives in the tree directly outside our single-pane master bedroom window and at about 11:15pm each night, the loser gets lonely and starts up with his songs.

danny finds it soothing and will try to count the different ditties while falling asleep. he's only counted up to six. and yes, this is currently our nighttime routine.

i snapped this of mister danny totally enthralled with monitoring the bird activity in the tree. there was something about a hummingbird and a nest... he loves it.
