Survival

Squawk the red trumpet;

Little winged ones take your flight—

Cooper’s hawk flushed out!

The White Stuff

You’re a soft blanket

On a sunny day, but when

The wind’s behind you,

You’re viciously cold—you’re a

Nasty old slap in the face!

Bird bath

Sun bathes the landscape

Not nippy today—chipping

Sparrow takes a dip.

Out of Sight

Woodpecker landed

On my deck rail yesterday—

Too quick for a pic.

Night Moves

Sleeping in day-bed

Under heaps of blankets, just

Feels Dickensian.
