Busy with Distraction

He caught my attention

The fierce chickadee

Such a strange throaty roar

Easy to spot on the branch

Chest puffed out

Mouth stuffed with food

Making such a racket

The others found him too

Outing themselves for a chance

Two Jays, a Robin, two Finches, and three Cardinals

All close together surrounding the industrious fellow

He hopped more than flew

From branch to branch

Making two different calls

Both from his full mouth

My eyes and they all followed

As he took us in one direction than another

Redirecting, misdirecting, gone

New tweets drew them away

Did he wink as he returned

And we both slipped inside our homes

To feed our families
