Water sprites




Big Frank caught the sun (briefly today - only briefly) on the buds along the Spokane River. The river is running high and fast, and the buds are poised to emerge - maybe tomorrow. All this excitement has caused the water sprites to erupt in sound. They sing with their eyes closed because the buds are not yet open. Big Frank only caught a bit of their song - only a bit, but it sounded something like this:


Splishin00, caloomaloo, spaloo, spaloo


What does it all mean? Only the water sprites know for sure.
