"Birds will give you a window, if you allow them. They will show you secrets from another world, fresh vision, that though avian, can accompany you home and alter your life. They will do this for you, even if you don't know them by name - though much knowing is a thougthtful gesture. They will do this for you if you watch them."
Lyanda Lynn Haupt, from Rare Encounters with Ordinary Birds

Observe colors in feathers.
A grackle sports a rainbow hue.
Snowy egrets grace the sky in clouds of white
Watch and listen today.
Hear their rustle in trees.
Castanets of crows, hummingbird
clicks, and sparrow songs abound.
Write about flight. Don't you wish you could fly?
Relax and move into a world above gravity. Feather your cares to wings.
Birds never worry.

Love your poem about the birds! And the photos (my guess tho is that the bluish bird is a Common Grackle rather than a starling. His colors are amazing especially in a certain light). Lovely feathery fragment!
