Sapphire Sialia

Deep sky-blue, a neat bit darker on wings,
And a cool piece paler below,
With calm white under it
To feed and clean trees, from perches, 
Male Mountain Bluebirds hunt insects, 
Or toppingly while on the wing
With their long wings, hovering flight, 
And marvelously quick dives, yet
Females are lovely brown tinged with grey
With cute tinges of pale blue in the wings
Pretty Tail likewise the wings
Andy and Sody are my old sparrow friends
What do you do in so windy winter? I asked 
Sody said "her nest is the best" Andy agreed
I gave to them a pouch of grains- Asian pearl millets, 
Some Indian fresh sesames as well as
A sack of Indonesian berry with Chinese natural brown sugar
