Please watch this clip and see the ways,
I work so hard to try,
To feed myself in hungry days,
To make sure I don’t die.
The maple bark was way too clean,
It came apart with ease,
But nought was there for me to glean,
No breakfast bite to please.
I flitted to a nearby fir,
You see the different bark,
Its bumpy, roughness won’t deter,
My beak will find the mark.

Oh dear! I must take much more care,
To eat bugs ere they fly,
Right in my armpit, he did dare
To bite me. “Now you’ll die!”

Elusive little bug, you are,
But mind my bendy neck,
I’ll find you, and you won’t get far,
I’ll eat you with one peck.

Writing, travel, photography, nature, more writing....

It was great seeing your video with the trees all sporting leaves. Yes, they certainly do have to work hard for their food.
