Used to on cool summer mornings
they came to our bird grain
just about every day
and flitted and fluttered around faster
than the eye could follow,
having breakfast with us, so to speak...
Ah, the sun was still climbing
and the sun's angle threw an amazing
"dappled light"
across the writing place's fruit cloth...
and all seemed peaceful and quiet
with the world...
But then our trusted Bird Grain Lady
at the bird store told us:
"We got this new bird grain in...
that will attract all kinds of exotic
birds, you know, like cardinals, parrots,
blue-footed boobies...and
amazing birds hardly ever seen...if
you buy it--they will come!"
So we bought it, a hanging cylinder
of miraculous unheard-of grain!
They didn't come....
and our marvelous and interesting
little Bush Tits...just up and left.
So now we have returned to the old
tried and true regular
run-of-the-mill bird grain
and the little Tits
"have returned to Capistrano,"
once again....today!
They are back and the happiest,
flitting-est, nervous-like,
energetic that one can imagine!
Amazing little creatures...from
The Creator...
We think there are five, but then
they are difficult to count
as they won't be still...
Four are eating as fast
as they can...with one poor little
watch-bird
over in the waxy bush.
