I'm not complaining about my job which I actually love very much....I'm just saying how difficult it is to go into the office when the spring peepers are heckling you! We have a little brook out front of our office and it is packed with wildlife, from spring peepers to bull frogs, from chikadees to hawks--it runs the gammet. I have been finding myself taking a long pause in the parking lot to take it all in. I am constantly looking out my office window (that doesnt open!!!) to see what else has stationed themselves there. I can be heard at any given moment yelling "WOW theres a red wing blackbird" or "Hey look a pair of yellow finches" everyone's gotta stop and look....Tonight as I was leaving the peeper raucus was soooo loud I had to call the staff (from the parking lot) and give em a listen--they were amazed, they came out to give a listen and we had to yell just to hear each other--it was wild kingdom. I think the peepers need a bigger bowl....Needless to say it is hard to stay focused on WORK when there is so much nature going on without you!
