Birds Among the Purple Lilac Trees

Many tiny purple-green iridescent hummingbirds go fluttering by
As cardinals, and finches are out foraging as their little hatch-lings cry
Robins proudly landing on tree branches, dancing and putting on a show
Black Crows are cackling, circling, and planning for all little birds to know

Doves are seen flying in pairs, landing and cooing under purple lilac trees
As busy black-capped chickadees are singing their chorus of chick-a-dee-dee-dee
A Downy woodpecker pecking for bugs, stops and lands to feed on a suet cake
While Cedar waxwings flock to a cherry tree, eating berries and taking a break
