at the feeder

(for Jan 11)

A flurry of wings
and they sail in to feed;
nudging and pushing
for their share of seed.

most of them different,
but all look the same
the challenge is always to find out their names

sparrows and warblers and towhees and wrens,
chickadees, flycatchers, male birds and hens.

They're all "perching birds"
it says in the book,-
so just close the pages,
just listen - and look
