When She Plays the Cello

It’s the most amazing thing! When she plays the cello, the birds fly in. I know I’ve written about this before, but I’m really starting to see more of a pattern. In fact, I might have to do a study! Tonight we were recording the hymn of comfort, and this little flycatcher flew in and landed right outside the window of our sunroom.

This flycatcher was listening!
Praise Him, Praise Him

After we recorded the short hymn of comfort, Wren kept playing and improvising. While she played, so many birds came in! First it was a female oriole:

Baltimore Oriole

Then a chipping sparrow, robins, hummingbirds, and our resident cardinal (look at how he was listening – totally tilting his head towards the window).

Then this happened!

American Redstart

I have never seen a redstart in my yard (this might be a life-bird for me, I don’t keep lists, so I’m not 100% sure). I watched this little bird for 30 minutes! He was really showing off and fanning his tail! I hope he sticks around!! Here are some more pictures!
