Our star bird came by and started singing just after the bell stopped. Maybe she wants her own solo set. Spreading her wings? Listen to our intro for the bird.

Each chiming in at their own slow pace, the bird and the bell smash into one another for a moment. My favorite duet so far.

Our neighbors Bernie and Mardi were waiting on the street even before we rolled the bell out this evening. The other birds must have taken the night off. Too windy?
