Wishful thinking, Part 3

Wishful Thinking, Part 3

January 12
Cold but sunny
Snow covers the ground
Chickadees and Titmice in full song
Cardinal singing tentatively,
Shaking off the rust of a winter’s silence
Carolina Wren bursts out loudly…arsenio-arsenio-arsenio
Tree Sparrows call like the soft tinkling of broken glass
A few House Finches carry on
Somewhere, a Dark-eyed Junco sings loudly as if on territory
Birdsong everywhere
A tonic for the winter-weary soul
