Sweet sounds as the birds
Newly arrived
Sing their pleasure
At the warm spring day
A red-winged blackbird serenades
Its song returned from another tree
Back and forth they sing
A merry melody on my walk.
IMy eyes flit from tree to tree
Trying to trace the source of the singing
Birders with long-lensed cameras
Share their knowledge identifying species
Soon nests will be built
As more new arrivals move in
Quacks and squawks join the songs
A chorus celebrating spring.
