Fall Birds

Autumn has got into the maples and the whole birdhouse is buried in orange and yellow leaves. A red cardinal has the ridge of the roof, a bluebird has just landed beside him, a nuthatch is working its way headfirst down the wall, and a woodpecker is round the side minding its own business.

Down among the branches a titmouse and a goldfinch wait their turn, and a pine cone has dropped into the corner!
