ââSoccerâ is a sport where grown men cavort and prance.â âThe four spend the evening singing a bit, dancing, or perhaps more aptly cavorting, around the stage and impersonating the various types of their acquaintance, both male and female.â

Birds in the Yard. A few birds could fit into either category: mostly black or mostly black and white. So if you don't find what you're looking for here, check the Mostly Black section immediately preceding this one. Some mostly black and white birds in the yard wear a big splash of color: Rose-breasted Grosbeak, Eastern Towhee. They're included here, too. I've chosen to put the woodpeckers here: Downy Woodpecker, Hairy Woodpecker, Red-bellied Woodpecker, Red-headed Woodpecker, and Pileated Woodpecker.
