A Good Day For Shore BirdsThursday I usually get my hair done and of course I go right past my favorite ponds, the marshes south and east of here

Beautiful birds today, mostly Yellow Legs,

 must be Lesser Yellow Legs?

 Not sure! A pair of Phalaropes

 and a beautiful Killdeer.

Imagine my surprise when I saw the train 

on the west side of the highway pond

*************

An early morning breath of spring, 

a chance to hear some birds that sing,

 the soft green new growth on the trees, 

can life feel better than this?

Yellow Legs Shore birds, a pair of Phalaropes

skittering about swirling the water,

 bugs coming to the surface,

a little lunch for the ever hungry birds.

Red Winged Blackbirds, Yellow Headed Blackbirds, some in the grass beside my car; others in the little willows on the edge of the water, one lone Killdeer, perhaps has a mate on a nest nearby.
