:-D Hello, Still Waters. Have things been 'clicking' for you, lately?

I'd guess sea horses' clicking sounds to be similar to birds' tweets,

in that they serve to identify the whereabouts of specie members,

I should've credited a downy woodpecker for the above observation.

It is only for the woodpecker's playing peak-a-boo with me

that I learned to both identify and locate the origin of bird calls.
