What was the last live performance you saw?

I no longer am comfortable in large crowds. So I don’t go places to see performances anymore. And my family no longer makes music for each other after some sad things happened. Oh well. I still enjoy performances daily.

So, I’ll say my most recent live performance, which took place 2:00-2:20 today, featured, in order of appearance):

• Painted Bunting
• Tennessee Warbler
• Tufted Titmouse
• Northern Cardinal
• Barn Swallow
• Carolina Chickadee
• Eastern Bluebird
• Carolina Wren
• Green Heron (weirdest melody)
• Mourning Dove
• House Sparrow
• Rooster
• Domestic Turkey, portrayed by Connie Gobbler
• Eastern Meadowlark
• Northern Mockingbird
• Dickcissel
• Bay-breasted Warbler
• Scissor-tailed Flycatcher
• American Crow
• Barred Owl
• Purple Martin
• Brown-headed Cowbird
• Baltimore Oriole
• Cliff Swallow
• Warbling Vireo
• Great Crested Flycatcher
• Common Nighthawk
• Red-bellied Woodpacker
• Yellow-billed Cuckoo (second weirdest melody)

Accompanied by:

• Flies
• Gnats
• Wasps
• Cow (coughing)
• Dogs
• Cow (mooing)
• Honeybees

I missed the rhythm section, the woodpeckers until the Red-belly appeared, and the frequent raptor soloists almost failed to show up until the Nighthawk croaked. All in all, a pretty good show.

Thanks to Merlin Bird ID for recording the concert and iNaturalist for plant ID.
