Speckled Suet Lovers


Crowds of starlings
Huddle in the crab apple tree


Awaiting their turn at the suet ball.


They fluff up their feathers in the cold


and patiently wait.
Trouble is the hawks also wait higher in the spruce trees.

  2. They do look rather as though they are feeling the cold, there...
