Song Birds

Song birds are very common in the Mississagi River Valley and make up a large portion of the birds found in the area. They manage to make beautiful music through the heat of the summer and sometimes even through the coolness of the winter. They are known for their ability to sing and for their apparent enjoyment of it. All song birds have a beautiful voice and tend to flaunt it as much as they can. It seems to human beings that these birds sing without vanity or hatred and that their songs are of love, hope, and most of all of peacefulness and pleasure. However, many times these birds are not singing for their own pleasure, but rather to defend their property or their little ones, or to attract mates.

Some song birds can be heard in the morning, before and during sunrise. Others can be heard at dusk and often many can be heard throughout the day. Most people enjoy waking up and going to bed to the sound of these birds. For some, hearing a bird sing in the morning and at dusk brings them a sense of peace and stability in themselves and the world. Maybe that is why there is so many of them and such a wide variety spread throughout the area.
