a balmy late morning
sunlight falling across my lap
amid the sounds of city traffic
the unfamiliar call of a bird
perhaps on a rest stop
to even more southern climes
or one of the neighborhood
blue jays practicing impressions
and waiting for peanuts
Morning Meditation: A call unfamiliar

Birds are the best meditation subjects, for sure!
Our Jays mimick Cooper’s Hawks!

Our Jays fight with the squirrels for peanuts. Fun to watch!

The blue jays here are almost never silent. I heard a strange call last week and it was a blue jay sitting on the scaffolding right outside my window. What bird he was pretending to be is a mystery. (K)

It’s amazing how many different calls they make.
