Just love this sight ! I wait hours together at my window just to enjoy this scene ! Each time I see such scenes, I think of God's wonderful creation and His providence....

I sometimes long for what I preceive as their faith and joy in life. God offers us the same joy through faith in Him. Thanks for the visit, Valsa. You are a dear friend. Bill

Oh yes... I just filled my bird bath ten minutes ago. The robins are everywhere... finding the worms that come up where the water spills over... Wonderful words... birds... Ann

Bill Baker

Yep, they do like to hop around in the yard looking for those worms. A joy to observe. Glad you liked the poem. Ann. Smiles ~ Blessings Bill P.S. ignore the comment by Kevin below ... obviously not something I'd say but signed like it was me. I deleted it.

Did they get in a fight?? I enjoyed reading this one today. Thanks for all the visits. Sara

Bill Baker

They do run each other off. We have three birdbaths in the yard, but they all seem to want in the same one. lol Thanks for the comment, Sara. Bill

Thanks for the humor, Gershon, or is it a vision? lol Bill

Smile. Of course more birds want to join in, because there is a party happening in the birdbath. :) They know it's true, after seeing this one bird "chirping and splashing water". I agree, bird watching is very enjoyable. Many wonderful blessings to you, my sweet friend. :) Brandy

Thanks, Brandy, for you lovely poetry and for commenting on mine. It's getting hot here in Texas, I may just have to join them birds; but I'll us my own pool. :-) Hugs, Bill

That sounds so fun to watch. I have so many birds around here and yet for some reason, they don't go to the bird bath?

Bill Baker
Date: 6/5/2022 9:48:00 AM

I know what you mean. We just bought a new one and it usually takes a couple of weeks before they venture over and try a new one. Sometimes they never do for some unknown reason. All I can do is offer it to them, they have to decide to use it or lose it. :-) Bill

sweet haiku.....birds of a feather bathe together, right? Grateful for your creative spirit and caring spirit, the one that attracts birds to our front yard. They're such fun to watch.

Bill Baker
Date: 6/5/2022 5:20:00 AM

I think you're right! Makes sense to me. Have a happy Sunday. Bill

Bird watching is a favorite pastime. Birds often show emotions such as ownership, jealousy, competition, sympathy etc. I even witnessed a bird funeral once in front of our house when a bird was run over by a car. I wrote a poem about it. I really loved your haiku. Blessings xxoo

Four Myna birds stood solemnly surrounding the dead bird. When I pulled out of my driveway they just stayed there with their fallen friend as I drove slowly by. Later when I came back home the dead bird was gone. I don’t know what happened to it.

I love looking out the window to see them having such fun. It's worth the $'s for the birdbath for sure.
