Seasons of the Day


Seasons of the Day
Every day begins a new season with dawn.
A subtle cycle unlike the explosion of spring,
Unlike the silence of fall. A collection,
Of tides and change, color and contrast.
Inherited habit, and raging senses.
Fields provide, marshes produce,
Woodlands gather sun and distribute shade.
Nothing moves that does not flow,
The new like the old, the fit precise.
Delicate but sturdy, intricate with ease.
Nature’s marching arm in arm with time.
—Dick E. Bird
Things You Should Know When Feeding Birds
Do the whiskers on a cat help it catch your songbirds?
Yes, but trimming its whiskers will not cure its bird munching. Its whiskers are feelers that enable it to concentrate on the target and not crash into anything. The best thing you can do for your birds is to keep your cat’s whiskers in the house with the rest of its body!
