Springtime!

[kc_heath]

Yard birds flock in for
peanuts...blue jay calls
"Pretty Bird", "Pretty Bird"!

Cardinals peep in excitement,
Smaller birds wait their turn.

Woodpeckers announce
the meal--but it's the jays who
gobble before lift.

Tufted titmice and
chickadees take one, then
dip in flight with weight.

Morning & eve they
remind me--birds' tastes are as
refined as peoples'.

Suddenly the cat's
under the picnic table--
Birds? ...Oooo, dinner!
