Bluebird, what do you feed on?It is true you gobble up worms, you
swallow bugs,
And your bill picks up corn, seed,
berries.
This is only part of the answer.
Your feathers have captured a piece of
smooth sky.
Your wings are burnished with
lake-morning blue.
It is not a worm blue nor a bug
blue nor the blue
Of corn or berry you shine with.
Bluebird, we come to you for facts,
for valuable
Information, for secret reports.
Bluebird, tell us, what do you
feed on?

Lovely. We have bluebirds and goldfinches and cardinals almost year-round. Some times I just sit and watch them at our feeders and...wonder!

Round here it’s mostly turkey buzzards and grackles, but the sentiment is the same. :-d
