Jays with their brash flashes of blue
spy the flock of dapper gray and white juncos
their bright yellow beaks finding the
first fresh food of spring after the rain.
The Blues mingle among them,
strut and flutter, nab a snack,
wings wide whisk to a higher vantage . . .
sated, unmoved, the juncos move on.
