spring orchestra – fee-bee
Carving of the name ‘Phoebe’ on a beam of the Tantramar #2 Covered Bridge near Sackville, New Brunswick

Phoebe

unknown, she nudges
her way into Monday –
carved name in the covered bridge

Black-capped Chickadee pipes
fee -bee, hey-sweetie
(bored with chick-a-dee-dee-dee)
~
and Eastern Phoebe, rasps fee-bee
whee-zy, Phoe-bee
black bed-head, smuggie throat
~
unknown, Phoebe nudges
her way into Monday

one of the usual visitors to our feeder … the Black-capped Chickadee
I was just singing chick-a-dee-dee-dee, making up a little song to myself while watching the chickadees. Lovely poem, Jane. 🙂

Hi Robin. The chickadees seem like different birds in spring, leaner (no feathers fluffed against the cold) and with different vocalisations! Jane
