Seventh Place
a movement catches my eye
a flutter a flash of blue
&I focus on
the build&beak shape
&wings that say to me
a blue bird
but, I look more closely
there is no orange rusty
breast?
I get out my trusty bird ID book
no rust on breast?
color a gorgeous
cerulean blue
like the sky above
a bit azure a bit ultra marine
a bit turquoise depending on
the light&shade
it is a mountain blue bird*
all blue
they love open woodlands, farm
fields&our backyards
making nests in tree cavities
&fence posts anywhere cozy
sadly, so do sparrows&starlings
causing a decline of blue birds
but people putting up nest boxes
in their yards
has created a promising
comeback for this lovely ''blue'' bird
across the USA&Canada ...
&then he is gone
flying away ...
