Birdseed Boogie

In my meadow surrounded by forest delight, there are more cardinals than I can count. They wait their turn at bird feeders, not flying in more than two at a time. A lone blue jay waits until last to be served. Robins and wrens do not understand there is a protocol. They swoop in on a cardinal’s turn. Do not get me started on crows. They will eat a whole field of seed in a mob of sixty in two or three minutes, and they do it loudly. a fast cardinal swoop pinkish streak in azure sky the birdseed boogie

You have to, but I warn you, they will come to your porch and dash away with cat food and be killed by a cat if you start and then suddenly stop feeding them.

What a birdiful poem! They call bird watchers, twitchers - I love birds also, and when we go to the Kruger National Park, we go towards a very tropical weather pattern so bird life is at its best, the further North you go, the better. All your poems are amazing, one better than the other, love, love them! Hugs, Jennifer.

Eating time is all day long here. There are raccoons on the porch right now at 12:21 a.m. eating cat food.
