red crossbill wants to come inside

[zoe ann nishimuta]

A female red crossbill has been trying to come in our house all day today.
I thought maybe because she smelled bread baking in the bread machine.
Or is the energy of the full moon and approaching solstice confusing her?
When she is not at the window looking in she is on a branch
right beside the door on the deck.
Well right now she is at the feeder.
When I go outside she flies
right over my head.
Well I guess I will go
out on the deck and sing for her.
Maybe that's what she wants.
She is wondering why I haven't sung yet today!
I wonder if this is the same bird that landed on
my head when I was out there singing one day.
