Feeding Its Chick on May Day
A song sparrow feeds its offspring.
Simpson County, KY, USA.
Happy Summer! According to ancient tradition, today, May Day (not the solstice) is the first day of summer.
The solstice is midsummer (as in Shakespeare's Midsummer Night's Dream, which is set on the summer solstice); it's not the first day of summer.
So get outside, today, and celebrate...take a walk in the woods, or just a walk in the park, or do some birdwatching, or go skinny-dipping in a nearby lake, just celebrate... the Traditional First Day of Summer! May 1st, May Day!

Summer arrives;
The chick quietly waits --
Its mouth, open.
