Vineyard Verses : Out on a Limb at Farm Neck

As readers may easily see,

This male osprey has his eyes on me.

To him I had become a pest,
As he guarded his Farm Neck nest.

With his mate in the nest are two little ones,
I have no idea whether daughters or sons.

He fulfills their every wish,
adding twigs to the nest and catching fish.

His stance is regal; his gaze is keen . . .
a pretty sight against a wall of green.

Their sighting is one you'll surely remember;
hope you see them before they leave in September.
