Always on the lookout!

 

We love to watch birds
Eating at feeders
While they're playing games
Like follow the leaders.

We feed them good food
And help them get fat
But when we get close
The birds tend to scat.

We try to be sly
Avoiding commotion,
But sensing our moves
Puts them in motion.

Opening the shades
Or other actions
Scares them to flying
Far from distractions.

We don't have grown cats,
Dogs, or mean critters.
It's merely people
Giving them jitters.

They're quite photogenic
But flighty it seems.
They're scared of cameras
As much as death beams.

They'll never be tamed
Most likely I'll bet.
They're just camera shy.
That's my one regret.

But shoot them I must
From quite far away
Using a zoom lens
I Bought yesterday.
