Where I live in the desert there are many ring-neck doves. Every early evening I feed them and they gather in my front and back yards and coo themselves silly. Unfortunatly,after it gets dark the neighborhood dogs start barking. They're like submarines sending out sonar signals. A dog blasts out one arf. Seconds later another dog somewhere else feels obliged to answer in kind. Pretty soon there's a dozen dogs barking. That's when I get out my powerful 'green laser' pen. I illuminate the houses/trees,etc. at each dog's house. The dog goes total gonzo nuts,barks up a storm. Couple minutes later the owner comes running out,screams "Shut the hell up you gawdamn mutt". Dog whimpers,goes silent. I wait about five minutes then illuminate the dog's house again with my green laser. Dog bursts into a raving storm of barking thinking the bright green spot must be a UFO. Owner rushes outside again wearing pajamas,screams at the dog, Threatens to kill it if it does'nt shut up. This is lots of fun to me.

      hooting in the distance. Sometimes they get nearer and we can hear them more clearly. A few years ago, Miss Kitty and I built a sun room and added a sun deck just outside our den. We had a beautiful... more

        T-Man.... so glad you had the foresight to do that... must be wonderful. I have never had a owl around that I could hear conversing. Owls themselves are beautiful... not sure about their hoot. Except ... more

      It's interesting that birds and humans like some of the same things.

        universal language ... but some how I feel maybe music is the universal language. Hi Ken, hope everything is great with you .... how's the riding going?

        • Thanks for the link — The Gryphon, Mon Jun 11 6:03am
          None of the "songs" on that link you provided sounded exactly like what I hear nearly every night, but close enough that perhaps it's just a different "dialect" of Nightingale singing here in the... more

              While I would LOVE a visit with you at Tinfoil's house, I'll have to find another way to get there. My balance just keeps getting worse, so there'll be no brooming for me until I can figure out how... more

      • hi to you... — ItBme, Sun Jun 10 1:11am
        my stating their feelings is not "complaining" about them.... merely allowing a story to be told.... hoping a beautiful wild creature, a Nightingale , will not be destroyed. Gee....Judge not least... more
