Hummingbirds waltz in a dizzying series of whirls and twirls — up and over and down and around the pair stays in perfect synchrony. Apart they glide then hover then back together for another frantic dance.
Red breasted robin marches and hesitates across the dried grass. Watching, waiting, filling her beak with breakfast then chirping her praise.
Rising sun casts long shadows highlighting tree tops and moss and rooftops with early rays. A perfect cerulean sky covering the new day. Still, cool air and heavy moistness of morning dew coats the earth in refreshment. A new day.

Morning Life of Birds
Shadows receding over dew drenched fields. Thick coolness of the morning filled with loud chatter of sparrows. Pristine blue cloudless sky welcomes the brightness of the sunrise. Honeybees tasting lavender flavored nectar and daisies complete their grand opening for a first taste of sunshine.
The sparrow takes leave of his elderberry tower, quickly replaced by a chirping hummingbird, wings resting from her incessant fluttering. Stillness falls over everything then suddenly she takes flight once again to investigate flowers and buds and feeders in her day long cycle of rest and flight.
