His ears are perked up, and he's looking around, trying to figure out what is happening. Now he went to the door. Ha. ;-) Anyway, what a great idea to record that wonderful sound. Beautiful poem, too.

I'm listening now to all the chirping, chirping of the morning. Birds are really special, aren't they? Great to hear from you again. Hope the new baby is doing well!
