Very beautiful haiku Eve, my dear friend! Love watching once in s while the hummingbirds and others beautiful birds fly Arond my home. Get a lot of ducks and like to feed them, feel so bad for them because they always seem to be searching for some to eat outside my front porch and driveway. Love and hugs! ;) give you a 7! ;) xxxx D.

Thank you David, I didn't mean it in that way, but that works too. Hugs and love :) eve From wikipedia: The primary motivation for migration of bird movements include those made in response to changes in food availability, habitat or weather to fly to another environment

I see the humour in the last line Eve. I can see the Robertson family out there waiting for them to pass.
