Magic on Wings

Woke up this morning...

wandered into the kitchen

for a glass of ice cold water.

Lacey was stuttering

at the sliding glass door,

you know -

that there's a bird, there's a bird

kind of stuttering

when she sees feathered food

just beyond her reach.

It was a male Eastern Towhee

checking out the sunflower seeds

I left on the deck railing last night.

This is a first for me.

What a nice way 

to start a cold winter day.
