Spirit’d Feathers

joyous Quacks and Chirps

excit’d Wings and Pediform Paddles
in vibrant Bespatter

wholesome Candy from friendly Smiles

Rain or Shine
Everyday’s a Beach Day

View Point

there’s water to stimulate our feet
a large perch to relax our wings
and lots of opportunity for people-watching

Haven

just a small parcel
garnish’d by man
our housekeepers
preserving our endangerment

though not the wild
the vanishing wild
consum’d by
cement
technology
and violence

this alternate paradise
must suffice as paradise
until Nature’s children
germinate
from Mankind’s progress
… or Mankind’s ashes

Ambush

of her be aware

hawk who espies everything

if you snooze you lose

(This happens– usually just outside my front door– about 4 times a year.  It takes a few days for the local birds to resume their activities around the hanging feeder and the ground level water dish.)

Mystery Lavender Lover

Hi, everyone.

Does anyone recognize this bird?  (This was a quick shot through a screened window.  Sorry about the quality.)   Six of them showed up on our property about a week ago.  In the mornings I see them emerge from our honeysuckle growth and head straight for our lavender bushes—where they dig right into the flower areas.

Anyway, we’re happy to have the new neighbors… and hope they’ll stay.

Have a wonderful weekend!
