A northern shrike settles into an old nest... Spring's return.
989: Need filled.
[The return of bird life after a hard winter and the finding of a place to nest are things bearing the advance of the coming Spring and Summer and the renewal of another cycle of life.]
For me here it's the return of the gold finches. Those yellow and black boogers are eating 10 #'s of thistle a week. It's those signs that warm the heart. Love it!!
Aurora: Well, I haven't seen too many besides the ones that were around all winter (sparrows, magpies...). Although I did hear a bird the other day that has a morning song that I hadn't heard since last summer. :-)
Floots: Welcome back...cheers!
John: Thanks.
Pat: Boy, I wish a bird around here would eat our thistles (I have weed 'em). :-) Thanks.
From "The Haiku Anthology" I became interested in Haiku and I have since written numerous haiku, senyru, and tanka. "Masago", my haiku pen-name, means "grain(s) of sand" in Japanese. I have recently started learning Esperanto and Japanese. A few years ago I developed a new eastern verse form which we now call 'Renhai'.
