Blue jay on a limb
Pecking at Summer’s remains
Hoping for some food
Inside the green leaves
Cardinals happily sing
Hidden in their nest

Didn’t call you home
You’ll winter here
Until Spring returns

I really don’t know if this poem is any good or not, probably not, but I kept seeing Robins in the yard and I just thought I would write a little something about them. I can’t believe that I am seeing them all ready. I thought this was a sure sign of Spring. I guess this new weather pattern has them confused as well. Anyway, hope you had a great New Year celebration and that you have a wonderful 2015.
Clear and bright sunrise
Blue tint on the horizon
Night gives way to dawn

A bird hops and skips
Moving through the dew filled grass
Looking for a worm
Chirping in the spring
Sweet symphony of warm days
Happily they sing

The Blue Jay (Cyanocitta cristata) is a passerine bird in the family Corvidae, native to North America. It is resident through most of eastern and central United States and southern Canada, although western populations may be migratory. It breeds in both deciduous and coniferous forests, and is common near and in residential areas. It is predominately blue with a white chest and underparts, and a blue crest. It has a black, U-shaped collar around its neck and a black border behind the crest. Sexes are similar in size and plumage, and plumage does not vary throughout the year. Four subspecies of the Blue Jay are recognized.
The trees are alive
Full of nature’s soothing song
Music for my soul
Red bird in the rain
Migration has called you back
Harbinger of Spring

Red bird in the snow
Cold, late February day
What keeps you so warm?
