Birds At the Feeder

Birds At The Feeder small chittering, cheepings winter wings brushed in Arctic air chickadees squabble to choose a seed from the newly filled feeder pecking and peeking and picking just the right morsel to nourish their individual need some come, as the blue jays.. squawking and bugling make way, make way and landing chase the small ones grabbing the largest seeds 10—12 at a time they stuff their iridescent cheeks I am like those birds I dip into my deepest pockets and finding a good seed a germ, a gem of thought or remembered feeling fly to a quiet place

My parents used to have several bird feeders that they had out for the birds during the winter and summer months! They do appreciate the generosity of us humans to give them something to eat during the harsh's of conditions! I know I've watched the eat with fervor! What a magnificent poem about this subject Patricia! You have delighted me by your tender words about these winged creatures that are so pleasant to look at! Their beauty is certainly worth the seed! Great Work!!

Reminds me ever so much of my mothers back garden -- bird feeders hanging from every branch! But it is enjoyable watching the birds feed...especially when times are hard for them; this one little act could save many a birds life during winters harsh conditions. Nicely penned, Patricia - hurrah for those who feed the birds! :) john

You made me smile with your 'Hurrah'. I think their antics are worth the price of a pound of seeds. Thank you.
