Leather-Winged Bat
"Leather-Winged Bat" is an English folk song about a collection of "birds". The song's most used cast members are usually bat, a wood pecker, a blue bird, owl and turtle dove (bats, of course, technically being mammals and not birds). However, depending on the artist, the song can have different creatures, such as Peter, Paul and Mary's 1969 version which has a bat, a black bird, wood pecker, turtle dove, and a blue jay. Each "bird" has something to say about love and courtship in some sort of rhyming manner. It was recorded by Burl Ives on 31 January 1941 and released in August 1941 on the album ''Okeh Presents the Wayfaring Stranger''. It has also been recorded by Pete Seeger, The Duhks, Bill Staines, Spider John Koerner, Peter, Paul and Mary, Kitty White, Nettles, Vicki Neville, Kim Milai, Anne Price, Peggy Seeger, and Warren Fremling.Spotify: search under "Leather-Winged Bat" References See also * Peter, Paul and Mommy ''Peter, Paul and Mommy'', released on Warner Bro ...

Warren Fremling
A warren is a network of wild rodent or lagomorph, typically rabbit burrows. Domestic warrens are artificial, enclosed establishment of animal husbandry dedicated to the raising of rabbits for meat and fur. The term evolved from the medieval Anglo-Norman concept of free warren, which had been, essentially, the equivalent of a hunting license for a given woodland. Architecture of the domestic warren The cunicularia of the monasteries may have more closely resembled hutches or pens, than the open enclosures with specialized structures which the domestic warren eventually became. Such an enclosure or ''close'' was called a ''cony-garth'', or sometimes ''conegar'', ''coneygree'' or "bury" (from "burrow"). Moat and pale To keep the rabbits from escaping, domestic warrens were usually provided with a fairly substantive moat, or ditch filled with water. Rabbits generally do not swim and avoid water. A ''pale'', or fence, was provided to exclude predators. Pillow mounds The most cha ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
