Robin Red Breast

i sit at the kitchen table
looking out the window
at a Robin Red Breast
starring  back at me.
She doesn't seem bothered                
or concerned about the
weather or other birds,
but content and carefree;
Enjoying the quiet of
her early morning reverie.

Note: The American Robin (Turdus Migratorius) is a common and familiar bird throughout north Idaho,  making   their habitat in towns, lawns, farmland, and open forest.  Easily  recognized by its grey back, yellow bill and brick red breast, and by the sound of their sweet, lilting sing-song .  According to Stan Tekiela in Birds of Idaho Field Guide, Robin Redbreasts  aren't listening for worms when they cock their head to one side, but are looking with eyes that are placed far back on the sides of their heads. To learn more about Robin's and other birds, I suggest  The Cornell Lab of Ornithology at http://www.allaboutbirds.org/guide/American_Robin/id
