Our yard has been so inundated with baby birds, it’s been amazing! We’ve had baby Baltimore Orioles, Bluebirds, Downy Woodpeckers, Red-bellied Woodpeckers, Titmice, Cardinals, Finches, Hairy Woodpeckers, and more. They are everywhere and are so cute!
I loved this photograph of this proud papa with two of his young ones…
The South Wind Says So
by Carl Sandburg
IF the oriole calls like last year
when the south wind sings in the oats,
if the leaves climb and climb on a bean pole
saying over a song learnt from the south wind,
if the crickets send up the same old lessons
found when the south wind keeps on coming,
we will get by, we will keep on coming,
we will get by, we will come along,
we will fix our hearts over,
the south wind says so.

The south wind says so – and so does the oriole. 🙂
