I always hear catbirds around it when I see it along the Little Miami River. <br /><br />@Roy - I guess that's a good trade-off every once in a while? :-)<br /><br />@Elaine - I don't know how far up they go, Elaine. You have other cool things we don't have, though! :-)Kellyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02263405659108175434noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7981450248684029870.post-64354258469787638032015-09-19T02:52:57.702-04:002015-09-19T02:52:57.702-04:00Delightful photos!
