Field Notes

Description:

You must check out their song!!! It is the essence of summer and the beauty of wild woods.

Notes:

They return to our land during the last week of May every year and are the theme music that shapes the feel of summer.

We have a couple of large elderberry bushes in our yard and they fill up on the berries before migrating to their winter grounds

Beautiful story! Here, we have different "summer songs", but this is very nice, like your pic!
