Nest 3
Magnolia chosen with care
Third nest this season
I see her in the shade, beak hanging open from the heat
I see her wrestle a sky-blue shell
Up to the rim of the cup
For removal as soon as possible
Lest a predator see
Somehow a shred of white plastic
Got built into the nest
Good idea turned too-conspicuous mistake?
Twice I’ve seen her try to unweave it
While two or three blind helpless hungry
She has a lot on her plate
Nice.
