OK I thought about it and I can see why you don’t see yourself as a canary. That is for other people to see. A canary sings for others and can alert them too. Those who read your posts and stories, each long one is like a song. And we enjoy them!
Well thank you!
If I had to pick a bird from around here, there are two: mockingbird & red-shouldered hawk. The hawk & I have this thing about squirrels (for me, particularly in the garden - hawk doesn’t care where they are) & I will leave it at that. The mockingbird sings & sings ..... so many songs & I always feel like I write way too much.
