I haven't been able to go online much since this happened last Saturday night because we've been reconfiguring our network here in the office, but this is a corker.
This even beats stumbling on the bikini photo shoot at Beavertail a few years back when I was on my way to meet RIROCKHEAD for a night of eeling on the other side of the Bridge.
This past Saturday night I got home from work at midnight and decided to have a cold beer or two on my 2nd floor porch to decompress a little after a busy night.
You guys already know that my house is mere feet from the fabled Tems Flyway, which is a blessing for an avid life-long birdwatcher like myself to be able to sit and watch the bed-thrashers and red-breasted warblers in flight.
Anyhoo, after a
very brief
conversation with a fun-seeker intent on rearranging my porch parts during an argument with his girlfriend, I slipped into a second frosty to regain my composure and noticed a half-dozen young lovelies round the corner of my street after closing time. Turns out they were part of the group of twenty-somethings that live across the street - all dressed up for a night out and more than a little tipsy, they stopped in front of my house to chirp for a bit.
I sit back and the next thing I hear is "Hey, you guys, look at this!". I look over the rail and sure enough, one of the blondes is standing in front of house with...well, the top half of her dress is around her waist, her arms are in the air and she's swinging back and forth yelling "WOO WOO! WOO WOO!"
I knew the call immediately, a red breasted warbler! (Or wobbler, in this case). Her girlfriends rush her like papparazzi, snapping away with their cell-phones and I'm sitting there dumbfounded. She puts herself back together, goes across the street to their house and gives the girls one more good shot at it on their porch before going inside. All I could say was "Thank you, my dear, you've made a dirty old man very happy."
Just the damnedest thing I've ever seen. Well, recently anyway.
So I guess the bottom line is, if any of you guys see this on YouTube with my house in the background, could you please send me the link?
Thanks In Advance
