A new forest: sights and sounds and opportunities abound.
New challenges to overcome no doubt, let’s stay here awhile.
Now, if only that loud cacophony of cawing would stop!
Out on my Own
Bird
Out in the Open
Out in the open for all to see, searching and unafraid.
Remembering what you were taught by those who came before you.
You watch, listen and wait for the perfect opportunity.
Newfound Home
Swimming alone, now in unfamiliar waters far from home.
Driven away by fire and smoke, you flew to this new place.
Deciding to stay awhile and learn more about your new home.
Mallard Morning
Slowly drifting near shore on a bright Autumn morning at dawn.
The cold morning air a reminder you will soon be leaving.
On this morning, you forget tomorrow and enjoy today.
Memories of Old Territory
Returning to the places you once haunted some years ago.
Some things have changed while others have not, although you are not sure.
The memories are foggy and unclear, you could be dreaming.
Mid-Winter Sunshine
The rising Sun is warming, the cold dark night has passed away.
Hunger calls but you decide to wait a little while longer.
Sunning yourself in mid-Winter seems absurd but feels just right.
Peachy Keen Winter
Ice covered branches provide a cold place to perch and observe.
Cold mornings chilling to your core remind you that you’re alive.
Realizing this, your spirit awakens and you feel warmer.
Winter Morning Berry Breakfast
Colourful appearances, in the bright cold Winter morning.
Perched between swaying branches, searching for berries, is that one?
Food is scarce, but when you find some, sweet flavour intoxicates.
In for a Closer Look
What’s that laughing sound I hear - seems to be coming from the trees?
I’m looking all around me and still I cannot find the source.
Suddenly, a flash of white and grey flies past and lands, it’s you!
Seed Buffet
Winter nears, colder mornings greet you each day, what will you do?
All your senses are sharper, you see a tall shape approaching…
The shape stops, scatters seeds: no time - grab as many as you can!
