This sounds like my yard before my next door neighbor moved in w/ a hound dog. Cats visit occasionally, but the birds are loud as hell. (Found a Carolina Wren nest in my back porch in my watering can. I waited until the juveniles fledged until I cleaned it out [hadn't needed to water the garden since last spring due to so much rain])
The wren, It seemed to like the shelter of the porch and raised a nice family. I would watch it do mating dances in the morning. I'd try to get pics but turning on the light would make it hide.
At work, I used copper wire to hang a bamboo shade in front of the window. I'd watch as a bird would repeatedly try to pull/bite off the end of the wire, during nesting season.
I couldn't tell you the name of the bird, there are several different types that build nests around the booth. One is a type of swallow, they have real solid nests, almost like clay.
In other news, while going through stuff today I unexpectedly found three boxes of records on a bottom shelf in the far corner of my basement next to the oil tank. They'd been there for the last 16 years since I moved in! One box I thought had been lost in the move, the others I didn't know were missing. Plus a box of cassettes.
the birds that come every spring to nest in the roof over the entrance to my apartment are very busy. other than them i haven't (and usually i don't, and i work outside) seen any birds working on nests yet. in a few weeks i will, and i'll have to construct barricades to keep the dogs away from some bushes for a bit.
The downside is that I'm going through things to prepare for mold remediation, and I'm not sure what's safe to keep vs. get rid of, given that my basement has mold.
But yeah, it was nice to see some records of mine that aren't easily replaced which I'd thought were gone. Most of the records were my husband's, and I don't have a working turntable on which to play them to see what I would want to keep.
Nothing looks or smells bad, but if you've got mold-related health problems (which I might) you're supposed to be extra-cautious. So it's hard to know. The cassettes I can part with.
(I still want all of the recs stolen from me at dj gigs and my old landlord's cleaning crew who took a box of cassettes and master tapes [I left outside my apt door while cleaning]). I'll never see those again
@coel: I didn't get Scott Walker until his collab w/ Christian Fennesz around 2005. Then he got more and more atmospheric and experimental. It was then I was able to find the threads through his whole career and now I understand.
after i heard soused i backtracked and really dug the drift, and tilt, and and who shall go to the ball, and what shall go to the ball (do i have that right?!)
I keep hoping I'll find a box with a number of LPs I used to have.
But what I'd really like is a cassette of music I made that was played on Transfigured Night on WKCR back in the 80s and never returned,
Oh, "Jeff Beck Group" -recorded in Memphis w/Steve Cropper prod. Esp. the instrumental version of "I Can't Give Back The Love I Feel For You" (Simpson-Ashford-Holland tune).
*and* I'm digging these current sounds much tonight. // Coel, it's got a strong band and guitar work, of course, yet some of the tunes aren't so melody-memorable except "I Can't.."
