~ By Sue ~ I look out at the trees behind my house No longer do I see the birds up high They must have already left me Only they did not say good-bye Rarely do I see a blue bird Chickadees and red birds I see I think they have all left me now They are not where they use to be I guess they thought it was too cold Deciding to head for the south Leaving this place in a hurry Traveling on their usual route 10-19-02 |

Sue, I was thinking the same thing yesterday. I was sitting on the porch over at my future in-laws house, watching the little mockingbirds getting nectar from the feeder hanging on the porch. I was wondering were they go from here when it gets too cold, because I'm already in the South. Maybe Cuba or somewhere farther down South than I am?!? Thanks for sharing, sweet sue. Love To All, Ethel |

smiling...I YAM SOUTH...these guys have parked here? and pretty much folded their wings and said, "uh-uh"---"we ain't flyin' till january--maybe feb...and then we don't intend to fly far..." if one more bird? whistles "oh stew-ar-dess!" and I swear? one more tweak of beak on butt? sigh...  (sorry, gotta go...there's this most intriguing raven...he's so cool too...I just wish he would quit tap-tap-tapping on the cabin door...) |

Sue, this is wonderful. I enjoyed it so much and I felt like I was watching them leave with you. Maybe we should take a hint and head for warmer places!!!  Hugs, Marti Life is not measured by the number of breaths we take, but by the moments that take our breath away. |

Oh, I know what you mean. When they leave us here in Ontario and migrate to the southern climes, I wish them lots of good luck on their journey and a safe return. As they say, "Parting is such sweet sparrow!" --or is it sweet "sorrow"?!? tehe The other day I saw hundreds of Canada geese flying overhead. They darkened the sky! I had never seen so many flocks flying together like that. It was incredible. I pulled my car over, jumped out, looked up and wished them a safe journey! ~ May you fly like a bird and with a song in your heart ~ Linda |

SmartChick - I believe I saw the birds you're missing flying by this place in Arizona. They'll be back, in the spring... BC |
