Snow Birds

Each morning, seed-mix
I cast to wintered planks–six
juncos thanking me.

Flierarchy

Black-bibbed sparrow tucks
In to his seedy breakfast–
Must have called, “first dibs!”.

Ice Storm

Starling squabbles start
Over sunflower seed scattered–
Shattering silence.

Two pair of cat ears
Pinned back below window ledge
Thinking they’re hidden.

For The Birds

Two-tiered bird feeder
Premier seed for those in need—
Still no customers.
