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.

From behind the drape,

Morning ornithology—

A feline “pursuit”.

Hawks and Doves II

Carnage on my deck;
Feathers flew in my absence,
Leaving me dove-less.
I searched for strategies, now
Reflectors hang from my trees.

On Deck

In wintry twilight
Twenty-seven mourning doves
Comfortably roost
