Open windows in the summer is the best feeling!  This morning I was awakened by 
a bird call that I didn't recognize (which isn't rare) and one that I hadn't 
heard a lot out back.  Tired as I was, I headed out back.  As always, it was 
gone by the time I got out there.  The best typing impersonation I can do 
is "whhiiiiiir whhiiiiiir dee-dee-dee".  Any clues?

The hummingbirds are so active - I have at least three that like to chase tail 
all morning.  It's hard to concentrate on any other bird when the hummingbirds 
are constantly buzzing around!

I did get to see a "new" addition to the summertime crowd - I think it was a 
Red-Eyed Vireo - or, maybe a Warbling Vireo.  I listened to my bird CD for the 
red-eyed's song, but it was not the song I had heard earlier in the morning.  I 
only got two short (but good) looks at whatever bird I saw, and it was 
definately overall grey, with a lighter belly and stripes on its head.  

In any case, without the windows open, I'da been still asleep!
