An Early Spring Morning

It's early, as I enjoy my coffee this morning
Birds are chirping, as I hear a blue jays warning 
I look outside and see a young red breasted robin
He's Jumping and dancing, his head’s busy bobbin

Goldfinches appear in their bright spring yellow
Chirping, singing their songs sweet and mellow
A pair of red cardinals land and take the show
They’re always together no matter where they go

I decide to take my coffee and go outside
Watching all the songbirds soon scatter and hide
I relax in my chair, smelling sweet lilac blooms
One of my favorite scented spring perfumes

A Baltimore oriole appears on the fence
His black and orange feathers are still and tense
A blue Jay swoops down and lands on the ground
He looks at me, then peculiarly looks around

He takes off quickly, lands in a nearby tree
The oriole is now feeding, chirping with glee
I need to go in now, and get ready for my day
I enjoyed my morning watching spring birds play

this is so lovely and colorful. I really enjoy watching birds and how they interact around feeders. My sister has so many pretty ones like these at her house in ARkansas. BIG congrats for your win, Tania.
