I enjoyed your post, Jill! Our local Willie Wagtails have been extremely
active and vocal since Easter (in other words, since the REAL Autumn
weather has started), and I'm looking out every day for the first Grey
Fantails and YFHEs. The Spangled Drongos are headin' up and movin' out,
and I saw my first "emancipated juvenile" Black-faced Cuckoo-Shrike in the
yard today.
