For the Ragtag Daily Prompt: laundry.
Robins have no laundry. They have to build and maintain a nest and their own health still. And do they have to sing for health?

no weasels
For the Ragtag Daily Prompt: weasel.
I don’t have a weasel. I haven’t caught a weasel with my camera. There is a dearth of local weasels. Here is an eagle instead.
new green
hummer
No snow now, but the Anna’s hummingbirds were guarding the feeder most of the time when it was cold, especially when I would thaw it. One especially cold hungry day, it dive bombed me when I went to wrap a warm towel around the feeder to warm it up. Fierce little birds!
But it also did the behavior pictured. I think it’s beak cleaning, but it sure looks like sharpening. Just like sharpening a knife.

Mundane Monday #201: contrast
For Mundane Monday #201, my prompt is contrast. I like the contrast of the sunlit leaves behind the dark mystery bird in this picture. This is taken on North Beach yesterday. I am not sure if this is an immature bald eagle or a golden eagle.
Link your contrast photographs or experiment with contrast and I will post links next week.

For the Ragtag Daily Prompt: fault.
I realized last night that I had not put up the prompt, and got back up to do it. My daughter called while I was thinking and told me about segmentation faults. I wrote the poem this morning.
cracks
people talk about me
whisper gossip
social skills aren’t right
they only see now
I had to grow in cracks
hold on tightly
find nourishment where I could
not fall
survive
if they could see my roots
if they could see
where I had to grow
no choice
maybe they would be kinder
