This melodic crooner posed briefly for a portrait before flying off to join others actively foraging on the ground.

American toads are really tuning it up in area wetlands with their loud ringing trills right now. We know for certain that this is a male American toad because females never sing and this guy is busy ballooning out his throat to create the melodic trilling call. He must have been a real crooner because a curious female came up to him within a minute and away they went.
Living in the mountains is beautiful at this time of year. Truly as sight to be seen, but we are still getting miserable rain and snow... which is a bad combo... hahaha. They say walk like a penguin and it is true or you do this funky not so graceful dance with limbs flailing all over...
So.........I am dreaming of a white Christmas.

One of the few crooners as we call them left ☺♥
I was out yesterday looking for Great Horned Owls, but as it happens, they were no shows. I found this beautiful male red-winged blackbird singing away. It looks to me like he is singing into a cattail microphone. A real crooner!
Have a wonderful, safe and blessed weekend!
Thanks so much to everyone who takes the time to view, like or comment on my photos!

You probably need the whole sequence to really appreciate this. The male "Crooner" on the left, his gal on the right. She was down in the burrow, and he picked up what looks like last night's dinner leftovers at the burrow entrance. He offered it to her - it kinda looked like they had a brief discussion about its value, and then she takes it from him in this frame.
You can tell the sexes easily here, as the female is always darker since she stays in the burrow a lot. They seemed to have a family going, since bugs and such kept getting delivered down inside the burrow. They had feasted on something red-blooded recently as their faces were both dirty too, especially hers. About 10 days later, I did see the little owlets.
finally a bird who lets me come close enough for a portrait; the sparrows in California are not so cooperative; This one - I think a rufous collared sparrow was so engaged in his song near the bay before sunset that he could care less about a tourist.
Mickey Gilley, the smooth-voiced, piano-playing country crooner who helped popularize the “Urban Cowboy” movement of the Eighties, died Saturday in Branson, Missouri. He was 86

This yellow headed blackbird sings to whoever will listen. It is very rare to see these birds where I live so I was lucky to spot him. He had a female mate close by.

Whisky drinker Alex Bird is fairly new (to me) on the jazz music scene in Toronto, but his music roots go very deep into the jazz history. He emulates Sinatra and style of 1950's crooners, but he writes many of his own songs. His adoptive parents (orphanage in Romania) took him at very young age to see the best jazz in Toronto and in the clubs in NYC. He met people like Tony Bennett, Ray Charles, Diana Krall, Oscar Peterson and even performed with them as a child. He studied acting (and it shows) and has parts in TV series. His band Jazz Mavericks feature high calibre young musicians such as Jacob Gorzhaltsan (sax) and Ewen Farncombe (piano). At Reid's Distillery (Gin) they also had Julian Bowes (bass). Alex is also a very good photographer and poet. His song "3:52 in the Morning" sounds like it was written by Leonard Cohen.

Eastern Meadowlark ~ (Sturnella magna)
An Eastern Meadowlark serenades a field in Pasco county, Florida. They have such a mellifluous song. Sometimes it's nice to put the car window down, drive slowly down a country road and just listen to them.
Thanks for visiting!

This is one of the best Dean Martin songs I 🤔 think but I have to say it’s hard to find a bad song of his. I think he was one of the best crooners of his era.
This little Burrowing Owl was making the sweetest sound I'd never heard before in my decade of observing these precious and endearing miniature raptors. I think he was singing to his mate. The dark patch of ruffled feathers under his chin have something to do with the song I think, as they smoothed out a few pics later.
It can be tricky properly exposing black bird's feathers [and eyes] but adding to the difficulty is their love for the marsh at this refuge that faces the sun...so you have a backlit subject to boot. I love these birds and despite the lighting challenges, I just can't pass up a shot.

Sukiyaki Song
"Ue o muite arukō" (上を向いて歩こう "Look up while walking") is a Japanese song that was performed by Japanese crooner Kyu Sakamoto, and written by Rokusuke Ei and Hachidai Nakamura. It is best known under its alternative title "Sukiyaki" in English-speaking parts of the world. The song reached the top of the sales charts in the United States in 1963, and was the only Japanese language song to do so.
The lyrics start as follows:
上を向いて歩こう ue o muite arukō (look up while walking)
涙がこぼれないように namida ga kobore nai yō ni (so tears won't fall)
思い出す春の日 omoidasu haru no hi (recalling spring days)
一人ぼっちの夜 hitoribocchi no yoru (alone tonight)

"Nimble and acrobatic, Bewick’s Wrens often hang upside down as they glean insects and spiders from trunks, branches, and leaves. They usually forage in the undergrowth less than 10 feet up, or peck at the ground between short hops. Occasionally they’ll catch insects on the wing. Seizing a prey animal in its bill, a Bewick’s Wren crushes it, shakes it, or bashes it against a branch. Having thus subdued its food, the wren swallows it whole. After a meal, this bird like many others may use its twig perch as a napkin, wiping its bill as many as 100 times. When it leaves the cover of vegetation, a Bewick’s Wren typically darts straight for its destination in a quick, level flight. A male’s weapon of choice for year-round territorial defense is his singing voice. Dueling crooners perch within about 20 feet of each other to trade a barrage of competing songs and harsh calls. Males may also give chase to fellow Bewick’s Wrens or House Wrens that impinge on their territory. (The House Wren usually wins.) During courtship, the male may feed the female, or spread his tail and turn from side to side; the female utters hoarse begging calls or a high clear note. The Bewick’s Wren often cocks its long tail and wags it from side to side, sometimes fanning the feathers."

A Bewick's Wren is not uncommon, but I don't often see one holding still long enough for a photo. There's something about this perch that I like. I just couldn't crop it too much.
