A Little Bird Told Me

We feed the birds year round and are lucky to have  hosted bluejays, chickadees, turkeys, hummingbirds, cardinals, woodpeckers, barn swallows, finches and many many more...including this sparrow who perched long enough on the deck railing for me to photograph.

    This little guy is great! And I agree with Maria BH...the contrast with very vague background and detailed birdie works great.

    American Tree Sparrow
    Spizella arborea
    stood still in a pose, basking
    in the warmth of your brush strokes
    and waited for that white touch
    to add that gleam in its eye,
    and then the brush flew away
    leaving no seed but fine art.
