Backyard Breakfast

 Backyard Breakfast


Open the curtains and two turkeys there, 

Male displaying in his best bib and tucker

Female feigning disinterest.

Later they reappeared, male no longer with his tail up like a fan -

Must have convinced her.


Cardinals kiss, male deposits birdseed in her beak.

Mallard pair feeds below the birdfeeder, then swims in the pond.

Another new arrival, the rose-breasted grosbeak, pecks some seed. 

Stunning-orange oriole feeds at the jelly feeder.

Blue jays bob up and down in the green, finding food.

Rabbits nibble on our No Mow May lawn.

Tiny chickadee eats one seed to a turkey’s thousand.



I snap pictures, drink my coffee. 

What a start to the day!
