Persistent. Observant.
As renovation work begins
my feeders are being moved
from place to place around my yard ...
in the front garden,
to the backyard by the clotheslines,
to the back fence,
then hanging again from a strong branch
away from the roofline.
Within minutes of each move,
resilient hummingbirds swoop in,
head-buzzing humans to lay claim
the sweetness of sugar water.
Listen for the rustle of fluttering wings
before you step out the door.
