a spare row

birds
often have a spare-row
flying
somewhere in the flock

extra
eyes and ears benefit
survival
with respect numbers

in
this or that tree grove
with
residential birdfeeders

ten
birdfeeders running
actively
almost all of the year 

great
for photography and
perfect
when reading/writing

poetry
and philosophy
mathematics
and counting time
