Morning At the Farm

I toss some scratch out on the dirt as I sit and watch the chickens peck A pair of doves float to the ground, To enjoy the morning treat, They speak in soft and cooing sounds, As side by side they eat, The image is so sweet; Now the chickadees swoop down to steal a small bite, Then they fly off to the tree, They chirp and enjoy as they eat their bit of corn; Feathers gleaming in the sun; A blue bird spots the seeds and flies down, To join the feast upon the ground.
Tirzah Conway May 2, 2011 ~For(Four) Beautiful Birds Contest~

I can't believe I read this before and did not comment. This is very very nice Tirzah. And that is the first time I have heard chicken feed called scratch, but very apropriate.
