Beauty of small birds that come to sing

Sunday Whirligig's 12 given words:
black beige  fly aiming branches oaks feeders
warblers (many different kinds of small singing birds)
surprise open arms drought

3WW given words:
abrupt uncovered vacant 

They come in all shades of the rainbow
Black beige blue of all hues with blessings
Melodious to the ears the paths they follow
Beauty of small birds that come to sing

They fly in numbers gregarious in swarms
Aiming for branches of great oaks as feeders
No surprise warblers  received with open arms
Heat of the drought forgotten as sad reminders

Abrupt in take-off but very graceful in flight
Not unlike fast carriers that swoop and dive
Presence uncovered when they choose to alight
From bushes thought vacant but very much alive

For Thomg's 3WW #471 and
MMT's Sunday's Whirligig #51

  1. Hank - love the title and I am def a bird watcher. This week it seems a woodpecker is knocking. I can hear his tap, tap, tapping causing me to stop and search out where the message is coming from as I try to decipher his code.
