Wary Waxwing

WINGS AND EARTH

A bird is a seed with wings
but the earth does not love her
she sprouts only by spreading her leaves
in skies plowed by the wind

A warm and sunny start to another relaxing day stretching ahead. This Cedar Waxwing, several Robins and a pair of Catbirds had to spring into action to drive off a Blue Jay. The Blue Jays have a bad reputation of raiding nests filled with eggs and hatchlings. Waxwings usually travel in large flocks, this must have been the flock leader, bravely trying to drive the slash of vivid blue away.
