rang with the songs of Meadowlarks, the low twitterings of 
Bluebirds, and the calls of Robins. Only one incident marred 
the morning but by its very ridiculousness it added a bit of fun 
to our sojourn. As I stood motionless, intently regarding a 
Meadowlark perched on a fence post some distance away I felt 
something rubbing against my legs. I glanced down and to my 
chagrin beheld two cats at my feet. These members of the 
feline family proved very friendly and very adhesive; in fact 
they stuck to me all morning. So you can picture me eagerly 
scrutinizing every bush and tree with two hungry and playful 
cats trailing along in my wake.
