Bird haiku


Tree dripping crimson
Cardinals
Stately, beautiful



Grackles clot the sky
They chatter
Creaky garden gates

  1. I like this! Geat pictures and poetry! We don't have cardinals here so we really think they're special.

  8. I'm amazed by all the cardinals too! As a western birder I was thrilled to see two or three in western New York earlier this month. I can only imagine trees dripping with crimson as you've so beautifully captured!
