A Mockingbird in November. These little things can be very territorial in springtime when nesting. I remember one spring when a nest was in the parking lot at work. Five O-Clock Charlie, as he was named, would come along and dive bomb arriving and departing employees from an altitude of about 3 or 4 feet above the ground! Like hot sauce, it was scary at the time, but funny now that it is over.
I'm from Huntsville, Alabama where I work as a Software Engineer and part-time banjo instructor. My wife Miiko and I worship at Rivertree Downtown.
I've been playing various instruments since my teen years. I started mandolin and dulcimer at about age 17 and banjo at 20. I love just about all kinds of music. In terms of banjo styles, I play and teach Scruggs, melodic, clawhammer, and 2-finger styles.
I'm also very keen on theology, being a Trail Care Partner with the Land Trust of North Alabama, photography, urban planning, architecture, astronomy, ATM (amateur telescope making), birding, martial arts, and about 30 other distracting hobbies to a (mercifully) lesser extent.
