First Snow for Small Creatures
Life can be hard when you’re young and little

Sitting
watching
enjoying cold cold landscapes
from warm warm comfort
when a littlebird lands on the suet feeder
Perplexed by built-up snow
he pecks randomly
at icy buildup
“What, silly bird, never seen snow before?”
Silly bird!
Wait…
His markings indicate youth, so
yes, smart-ass,
the poor creature
has never
ever
seen snow before
Popular memes
show
puppies in first snow
babies in first snow
happy moments
but
no perplexed and worried birds
trying to figure out
where all the food went
Tap
Tap
SUCCESS!
Suet crumbs fall
to ground-feeding feathered friends
while the successful youngling
enjoys the results
of concentration and persistence
