Reprieve

After days and days

Of sunny rays, at last rain!

Songbirds sing with joy.

Solos

Agnes Obel plays

Lifts my soul this winter day—

Outside, a redpoll

Survival

Squawk the red trumpet;

Little winged ones take your flight—

Cooper’s hawk flushed out!

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.
