with her mate, she sits in her tree
exhausted after a day of nest building
knowing soon their essential skill as hunters
will be required to provide food for their young
for now, a rest
vivid colors cast the perfect backdrop
to showcase her strong resolve to survive
as the beauty of this day lingers
a few minutes more
survival, a simple quest or is it
(the other hunter slowly moves our way)

The setting sun is a beautiful backdrop…wonderful reflections! A peaceful way to end the day…thanks Sheila!
Hi Gay, yes a peaceful way indeed! Glad you enjoyed the photos of the sunset!
Such a beautiful poem, and peaceful images, Sheila. Yes I see the other bird, half hidden behind the tree trunk. 🙂
Sylvia, thank you! I so enjoy birding! We left Lake Louisa and traveled to Rainbow Springs State Park and this afternoon we had numerous species of birds flying around our site – so fun!
Your sunset photos are so soothing Sheila. 🙂
LuAnn, at Lake Louisa State Park you will be offered a beautiful sunset almost everyday! Hope you are staying out of the way of Gators!!
We are Sheila and I am loving your sunsets! 🙂
