A Dinning Room Window

Through a dining room window in the house I meet various friends on daily basis Their entertaining spirit is huge The joy they give to me is plentiful All I do is, offer them some seeds Paying numerous morning and evening visits They amuse me showing their characteristics Wearing its tiny gray crest an Oak Titmouse tweets, pecks on seeds and leaves Pairs of chatty House Finches fly in showing distinguishing red colored markings Attractive bluish-gray colored Nuthatches call loudly from the nearby oak trees Fodder on the scattered seeds using their fairly long beaks A fascinating Acorn Woodpecker with its raucous squawks Shows up displaying its pretty red cap and black back A Humming bird with its bright pink shiny head Flutters in the air looking for a juicy flowerbed Flashy Scrub Jays take daring flights around the seed tray Take time to peck on them after chasing the little birds away Brown Towhees show manners in waiting for their turn Feed on the seeds quietly after a long wait with patience A Black Headed Grosbeak visits sometimes showing its feathers of cinnamon orange color Eats the seeds with its very large triangular beak and quickly disappears Red and Gray colored squirrels are the regulars at the bird-feed Play a game of ‘Hide and Seek’ with each other while munching on the seeds They all vanish before nightfall with a known promise Of returning in mornings to chomp on their favorite treats
