Gallo-a-gallo

And now we answer the question, what is noisier than ONE feral rooster in the neighborhood? TWO feral roosters.

Several weeks ago we woke up to different crowing. A full cock-a-doodle-doo, as opposed to the cock-a-doodle of THE rooster. Then there was a call and response - cock a doodle doo.... cock a doodle... cock a doodle doo.... cock a doodle - that ultimately converged on our back yard.

Introducing Blondie:



And you already know Red:



Red is about twice as big as Blondie, but it is possible that Blondie has about twice as much spunk. So, although Red won the first battle-for-our-backyard (which ended with Red on top of the storage shed crowing until he had no voice left), Blondie has won just about every other re-match.
