Dubie's Thought of the Day:
The feeder is getting busy
As the community gathers for a meal.
Mr. Downy's red flash
Attached to the suet cake
As the nut hatch paces,
Upside down on the railing
Tapping out its impatience.
A blue jays show its lack of subtly;
Slamming into the feeder,
Calling out its dominion
Over a perch it cannot hold;
Showering the junkos and chipmunks below
With rewards for their diligent foraging
While the house finch ignores
The whole scene
Gliding in,
Carefully selecting a seed
Then flying off
Taking just what it needs
Confident there with be more
When the mood strikes
Once again
Hey man, thanks for the grub!
