Freeloader

Cardinal peeking Red flashes in my sunroom Seeks window feeder Empty feeding box Attractive indolent bird Pecks at my window Angrily flitting Eyes industrious robin Pulling at a worm April 28, 2021

Excellent haiku, Milton! I have a bird feeder outside my dining room window and have experienced the same thing. Mine is usually emptied by those pesky squirrels and I'm still looking for the perfect squirrel-proof feeder! Bob

Hi Bob, they are hard to find because squirrels are very persistent and inventive. I myself have never been able to thwart them. Thanks for your read and your comment.
