After a rain spiked with ping-pong ball sized hail stones here in  Charlotte 
Park, West Nashville, Davidson County, yesterday afternoon, one of  my very 
wet and bedraggled white-throated sparrows flew up from under  my holly 
bush/tree, perched on a branch and began singing joyfully and LOUDLY  for all 
to hear. 
 It must have been giving thanks for its survival.
 
At 5:40 AM today, one of my mockingbirds burst into total melody that can  be 
heard all over the neighborhood in the dark.  A cardinal has already  joined 
the cacophony of sound and seems to be in "Loudness Competition" with the  
mocker.
 
What a beautiful way to come to life after such tragic deaths and  
destruction in our state yesterday and last night. 
 
Cheers & prayers,
 
Dee Thompson
Nashville, RN
