Such a sad realization dear Carolyn, and such a profoun Haiku dear poet. Reminds me of the black birds which were blown out of our tree this summer, and thank God the rangers came to rescue them and assured Noah and I that they would be cared for and released back to the wild ! TY for this uplifting write love ! much love, james

This is especially true in our bitter cold Michigan weather. The nests don't offer enough protection and the nests- high above - are empty. Love, Dave
