puffed up feathers
winter is here
you surprise the
bird nerds
with your presence
we watch in awe
like groupies at
a rock concert
falling over each other
desperate to get a look
at the star of the day
you visit the lower Cape
sitting regally on a branch
brown feathers soon to
become a painting of
indigo passion
we delight in your company
ornithologist wannabes
you turn your delicate head
to peer at us recording
the crowd of admirers
a winter tourist who
brings joy to the masses
of admiring fans

Author Notes
The front page of the Cape Cod Times had as the top story, the sighting of a bunting that is usually not seen in winter on the east coast. It was a juvenile that had not yet develop the bright colors yet. It was quite an exciting
event for birders.
