Speaking of bird food, does it seem there are more annual cicadas
this summer than last year? The woods are full of them, and the noise
is so loud it reminds me of the beautiful invasion we had two years ago.
The Peewee is about the only bird still vocalizing here, but today he's
being drowned out by the cicada chorus.

FYI, there's a poem titled "Hummingbird" on Verse Daily today:

"The natural function of the wing is to soar upwards
and carry that which is heavy up to the place where dwells the race of gods.
More than any other thing that pertains to the body
it partakes of the nature of the divine." --Plato
