This place is for the birds!

I live in the country in Florida. The birds also live here. Right now, I hear a woodpecker drilling our tree in the front yard. He is hunting for a late breakfast. Sometimes, a crazy mockingbird pecks our roof. No one knows why. In the early morning, I hear doves cooing and sometimes owls hooting. Other times, a flash of color tells me that the hummingbirds have arrived. The big birds rule around here. Four foot tall Sand Hill Cranes walk about wherever they want. They are endangered, so no one bothers them. Curlews are smaller birds about the size of the egrets and ibises running around. This is a picture of an ibis invasion on our street.
