I was thinking of a metronome too… only up and down instead of side to side 🙂
Whatever gets us going, eh?

Could I be the only one that didn’t know what metronome meant?

I’m rather surprised… But then why are we to assume that you know music as much as you do literature? In elementary school we went to see the MSO (Montreal Symphony Orchestra) and were introduced by the conductor to various parts of the orchestra, the metronome brine one of them.

Oh no! I sadly can’t play a darn thing. It was a special school program given by the MSO trying to entice kids to start to play (my sister played violin for a hot minute). We went 3 times, if memory serves

My friend who lives in the Czech Republic has these (wagtails) coming to her birdfeeders. I don’t think I’ve ever seen one, so it’s nice to see this one on your post.

Would be cool to see one.

The pretty wagtail has similar colors to a type of small chickadee I’ve seen…
My first impression of the bobbing bird’s tail was well, “Shake Your Booty” and how some people have their alarm clocks set to go off and this just might be playing on the radio, certainly not a quiet was to start the day, though such a classic song from the 70’s Kool and the Gang…”Shake Your Booty” this song evokes spontaneous movement…
