New Strands Today (Game #425) – The answers
The answers to today’s threads, game #425, is …
- Warbler
- Lark
- Sparrow
- Wren
- Cardinal
- Chickadee
- Spangram: Songbirds
- My rating: Easy
- My score: Perfect
I just spent a very happy few minutes listening to all these songbirds on YouTube.
Living in town I don’t really hear as many birds from pigeons cooing and the crazy people on our street with a rooster (fortunately he is a little lazy and does not start his rooster until about 11am).
Of all the birds in the search is my favorite cardinal, which not only looks fantastic, but also has quite the repertoire of repeated songs. I am also a fan of Chickadee, who really should be called chickadee-thee as they are so eager for repeated whistles.
All in all, a very straightforward threads with a little in the way of confuse words or patterns. Not exactly a trill-is, but very soothing.
