Birdwatching

The early bird gets the worm
Or so they always say
As he squirms what does the worm earn
For minding his business in clay?
Watching blue birds fly about singing various tunes
The red birds song sing of home in the month of June.

I would think the worm gets points in heaven for keeping the birds fed, thus the great cycle of life. Great for the bite size contest. Hugs

'What does the worm earn?' Great question. Ask it to a politician, and he'll wriggle right out of that one. :) gw

The great picture I saw in bird watching is that of a large eagle clutching a deer.
