THE FLITTING LITTLE BUSH-TITS ARE BACK!

Used to       on cool summer mornings

    the Bush-tits 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 its angle threw an amazing

                 "dappled light"

across my writing place...

   and all seemed peaceful and quiet

with the world...

But then our trusted Bird Grain Lady

   at the grain 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, and

energetic ones that one could imagine!

   Amazing little creatures...from

The Creator...everywhere at once...

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

          hungry watch-bird

over in the waxy bush...alone.
