Squaking gaping uplifted beaks
ever waiting impatiently. For father or mothers return
with wiggling worms or other things. To swallow and quell stomachs
in their world of twigs and grasses. Resting on crushed colored egg shells
built high above by their parents.
These little baby greyish ones
begin to feather out and grow. Now they stretch, flap and learn to fly
until its time to soar on air. Come next spring they will all return
searching for branches of their own. Accompaning mates they have found
to continue this yearly scene.
I STARTED READING THIS ABOUT 15 TO 20 MINUTES AGO...DO YOU KNOW WHERE I'VE BEEN? I WENT TO LOOK AT AN WEBCAM ON YOUTUBE...ABOUT OF A PAIR OF MOURNING DOVES THAT MET, NESTED, PRODUCED TWO EGGS, HATCHED THEM, FED THEM AND, AFTER UNFORTUNATELY LOSING ONE THAT FLEW OUT OF THE NEST BEFORE TIME...HAD ONE FLY OFF INTO THE WORLD. VERY INSPIRATIONAL SHARING, BUDD...THANKS! LOVE, BLESSINGS AND FAITH...HIS+INSPIRATIONS
I never saw that many doves at one time, although there are a few pair at our house. I enjoyed reading this pleasant poem about a favorite bird species.
