Start the morning, leisurely
Wondering what bird will visit me
While I am having my cup of coffee
Which winged friend will feed
Upon the suet and sunflower seed
It is such a delight
Seeing which bird will alight
Or to hear a Carolina Wren trilling
And a woodpecker in a tree drilling
Oh how thrilling!
Now there is a Chickadee, Dee, Dee
Sailing in from a lofty tree
Sparrows and finches are as common
As the Harbinger of Spring, Robin
Sometimes on the a day fair
A Red breasted Nuthatch is there
Smaller than a tiny Sparrow
With head, black and white striped, narrow
Wearing a patriotic coat of Red, White and Blue
Birds of with these colors are few
Sites like these are enough reason,
To watch birds in every season.
