Fellow fowl fanciers, To me, the song of the House Wren sounds like the maniacal laugh of a mad scientist whose been huffing helium. For the first time this year, their frenetic giggling was ringing in the morning air here in the northern outskirts of Omaha. A week or two ago, I mentioned the first Catbird of the season, but I haven't heard or seen another one since then. My neighborhood gets flooded with catbirds in the summer, but the usual hordes haven't arrived yet. I do have a pair of Brown Thrashers hitting the feeders in my back yard, hopefully a nesting pair. The male was singing up a storm a couple of weeks ago, but he's gone silent. The leaves are popping out, and the recent rains have increased the bug population, so the summer birds should be getting pretty thick pretty quick. Chip Hubert Omaha
