Today, in a clipped manner, he stretched the       
two-wheat and shortened the tyou's to one tyou:

Amused and bemused, I cannot decipher the meanings
of his courting songs, but the female was on a wire
today.  So she hasn't left the territory.  They've  
been together here all winter.  Tune in tomorrow.
