Birds especially yeah. Sometimes when I’d be working out in the yard raking up certain spots a robin will come and sit on the wooden fence and watch and wait till it can swoop down and look for bugs and worms to eat. And there are birds like the brown thrashers that like to fly down in the yard and they are pretty calm and we’ll stare at each other awhile.

@cherokeepatti Sometimes, on my walk, I can hear a cardinal making that "Tick, tick" noise. When I snap my fingers a few times, on occasion, they fly near me like they are returning my greeting.

@ProfessorPlum77 maybe I should try that. I haven’t seen many mockingbirds this summer and I don’t know why only a few have returned this year. About 10 years ago the males would hang out on top of the roofs, sometimes one facing each way watching for cats or squirrels to swoop down on and chase out of the neighborhood. I did hear some singing in the spring but the last 2-3 months not so much. I always love to listen to the mockingbirds sing and watch them fly up and then land on top of the tree and sing some more. I also love listening to cardinals and bluejays and house wrens.
