Chip, chip, chip, chip, chip!
Cold chipping sparrows fast-feed–
before black wings fold.

A few feathers, still
atop my fence-post; I chase
off a sparrow hawk.

Suspended from hook
silo-feeder spins under
weight of six sparrows.

When I set out feeders, I’d
Get forty sparrows!

Sparrows

Empty bird feeder;
Little peckers on the ground.
(Not tagging that one!)
