‘T·see, t·see, t·see,’
with his blue cap
and proud yellow chest,
on his back
a bright green vest,
upside down
on round bird feeder
—acrobatic little tweeter—
parus caeruleus,
twelve eggs per brood.
Itty-bitty caterpillars,
staple food.

Polly, this made me grin ear to ear, honestly. At first (OK, I know I need my meds), I was literally thinking, “Who on earth would dress a bird up in clothing?” Took a second to reorient to Planet Earth and realize that, in birding, sometimes and cap is… just a cap! Very sweet stuff, charming. Amy

Fab to hear from you, Roland … the video is lovely and shows more clearly why no-one took me up on the request to whistle the bird-song 🙂
