I think I remember reading that there are something like 50 separate races of these guys across America, and each bird can know up to 1000 variations of it&#8217;s song. The one common thread for all of them is that the song, no matter where it&#8217;s singer lives, ends with four notes resembling Beethoven&#8217;s Symphony No. 5 opening, TA DA DA da. And so there&#8217;s your nature&nbsp;class&nbsp;for the day. Nancy says I cannot go an hour without attempting to teach something to someone!
