P and L were alert and ready.  A brisk full back and shoulder massage exciited P to a fast walk to the door.  While underway, at the sight of the photogenic pair, a little girl with her mom squealed with delight.  Mimicking the child's high note report a starling called back with perfect squeeky hinge pitch.  Now a vulture wheeled in a low, tight circle on the thermal over an intersection.  As if on cue at the appearance of the morbid creature, the camera died.  It failed to revive, so the pictures are from the archive.
