Missing....

The beautiful day yesterday
With all of the snow and cold gone
Made me notice...
The most important thing

MISSING!!!!!!!

Birds!
Chirp chirp
No...not MY birds
(those silly cockatiels)

Bird...Birds

Cardinals, sparrows, woodpeckers
The birds that stay here in the winter
(maybe they flew south from the Arctic!)
None...nothing...silence

It felt like a nuclear winter
A nice day...and no peep of a bird
It made me think that there was a toxic leak
From love canal (a few miles north)

So far...
I've seen a small flock of blackbirds
And some Canada Geese
