19 January 2020 (shoveling)

snow-shoveling

the house finch’s long song

thaws my mood

29 July 2019 (finch)

…sit back and unwind

finch resuming his song

above the hammock

9 July 2019 (finch)

in the wake

of the clamor of crows

finch’s sweet song

January 25: Bird bath

so ordinary

finches crowd a bird bath

so wonderful

June 10: House Finch

what am I

compared to this finch

her perfect grey bill

September 6: Youth

heavy rain falling

young finches wait in feeders

chowing down, unafraid

June 18: Out back

Singing house finch

doesn't know he's harmonizing

with the river.

March 3: House Finch

Finch sings so loudly

that for a second

I mistake it for my ringtone.

August 5: Gathering storm

As clouds gather
the finches grow louder.
I need a nap.

February 16: Longing

Finch sings songs of spring
while I shovel
a foot of fresh snow

November 10: Sleeping bird

Feeding the cat at dawn,

I wake the finch

in the window feeder.
