I can agree with the song of the Northern Cardinal reminding you of the
Midwest. How about the song of the Northern Mockingbird keeping you awake at
night? I lived in Maryland and in my younger, single and swinging years,
recall singing mockingbirds reminding me, that once again I was coming home
at o-dark-thirty! Yes, I do miss them both out here!

Cheers,

Hans
