First Bird
What's the first bird you see at the start of your New Year?
The New Year brings yet
Another noting of
Significance
A friend shares with me
This one makes me smile…
The First Day’s First Bird
Is one I delight in
All year round…
Flashing scarlet defiance
Against a winter world of gray.
Cardinal
Spirit of loved ones
Passed on…Friendly
Keepers of the robin’s eggs, when needed.
A “cooperative species.”
This one
My first one, is decidedly
Female, buff colored such that
I barely see her lurking in brown branches until
She turns a blush pink wing towards my window.
This cardinal waits
Patient as the jays and finches
Spin through the feeders.
Her seed time will come
Very soon.
Love this! Cardinals are my favorite bird. They are at the feeder every day. Also chickadees too!
Oh lovely Kym! I heard but did not see it the other day. I love these images, I smile as I read and see them, hearing the pip, pip. Thank you.
