Perched at my window
Outside looking in. A pair
of fluffy fledglings?
No, it's too early
for newbies to be out, plus
Siskins don't nest here
These two don't fly off
Even as camera moves close
More sleepy than scared
Research is needed
I consult good Dr. Zinn
It's salmonella!
Poisoned by feces
Outbreak among pine siskins
From west coast to east
Feeders must come down
Decks must be disinfected
Until siskins leave
Mystery solved but
such unhappy solution
for all of Georgia
