We had a visitor today. Actually, 3 or 4. They looked dignified as they strutted about the yard, pecking at the muddy, brown grass for food. Their blue-grey wings hung at their sides, and their red breasts were puffed out proudly. The delicate sound that came from between their yellow beaks announced their coming as something to be recognized with joy.
What were they trying to say?

They were saying, "Ah, Spring! We can finally strut around and peck at those delicious worms that unsuspectingly pop their noses out just enough for us to grab! Life is just too good!" :) "Besides, I have such beautiful plumage, I must show it off!"
