Bird Watching

poetic trilling
faded pink cardinals swoop
red squirrel turns tail

deer knocks down feeder
mushy birdseed on the ground
bashed feeder lies limp

holiday singing
winter brings ice frost and snow
jay watches and waits

Nicely described, Caren! I filled the feeder at my son’s house this morning, as I do every Friday, but not one bird has stopped by yet. There’s usually a crowd. Maybe the wind is keeping them away…

Squirrels have taken apart or destroyed 18 bird feeders at my house. I am finished trying to feed the birds.

Hello Caren, the redjays and bluejays do watch until the correct time to swoop down to eat. Same for the squirrels. Hugs.

Hello Caren, yes the red and blue jays are beautiful. I also love the Doves. Hugs.
