Do birds notice the recession?

U.S. Jobless Claims Rise Unexpectedly -- headline in today's New York Times


Do birds flying by astronomy
see the downturn in our economy?

Fewer feeders this spring than last?
Insect population falling fast?

Shortages of berries and nuts?
Flowers folding, blossom shuts?

Birds fretting about the economy?
Not happening it appears to me.

No lack of trees or nesting supplies.
Cat on the job, that's no surprise.

We wintered down in Yucatan
heading up now to old Spokane.

Do not know, haven't heard.
This economy is for the birds.
