The forest is alive with the sound of birds!

We heard eleven different types of birds singing this morning during our 1.4 mile hike.  We were in the Tonto National Forest—just a few blocks from our cabin.  

These are the birds that sang to us on our delightful hike….






We were surrounded by music.  This is one of the many reasons why we especially enjoy a walk in the forest in the hour just after sunrise.  The sweet birds have just awakened, and are singing to each other and calling to alert each other of danger.  They sing as they gather food, court, make nests, and feed their babies.  

At this early hour, the birds seem to be singing for the whole world.  But as we walk through the forest, and they joyfully serenade us, we’re sure that the birds are singing just for us.
