Ahh! My speckled friends
I suspect that you expect
Me to feed you seed
Happy gardener
Winter grass aeriated
By your busy beaks
The starling posse
Thirty strong. Run for your lives
Earthworms and beetles!
Alternative:
Rain on horizon
Sunrise! Apple red where trees
Of starlings chatter
Flat field flooded now
A boating lake for seabirds
Feather flotilla
Red gape scrapes at seeds
Window feeder mealworm treats
Starling beaks clatter
Black-headed gulls glide
Paper boats on a pink lake
Sunrise on the floods
Like a loom shuttle
Starlings cross the sky; weaving
A winter pattern
