The German poem "The Three Sparrows" by Christian Morgenstern (see below) dates from 1921 (Era of Expressionism).
Because of copyright, I can't simply translate the poem, but the content is about the three sparrows Erich, Franz and the "cheeky" Hans, who sit in a bare hazel bush in winter.
The poem describes in impressive atmospheric density the protection and security that the three little birds can give each other in the icy cold, with Hans, who sits in the middle, he has the warmest.
Die drei Spatzen
In einem leeren Haselstrauch
Da sitzen drei Spatzen, Bauch an Bauch.
Der Erich rechts und links der Franz
Und mitten drin der freche Hans.
Sie haben die Augen zu, ganz zu,
Und obendrüber da schneit es, hu!
Sie rücken zusammen dicht an dicht.
So warm wie der Hans hats niemand nicht.
Sie hören alle drei ihrer Herzlein Gepoch.
Und wenn sie nicht weg sind, so sitzen sie noch.
(Das Gedicht "Die drei Spatzen" schrieb Christian Morgenstern 1921, Epoche des Expressionismus).
Three geese showing me that they were not amused when I walked closer to them. This shot was taken in the wayside park on Scott County Road 101 in Shakopee, Minnesota.
I do not know for sure what species of goose they are - probably Greylag. I would appreciate it if anyone knows for sure.

(for those who like to see this one week journey in chronological order; maybe you want to take a look at the album Terschelling that is being filled these days :-) (weeks;-)
I was on a dirt road in who knows where back country in Virginia when I came across this group standing in the rain watching me go by. I had to get out and take some photos

American Wigeon (top), Redhead and Mallard duck (bottom) swimming together in Trade Winds Lake in Fairfield Harbour, NC. From 75 ft. away through my glass storm door...because it's too damn cold outside. Not the greatest photo, but rare having this group together.
A storm rolled through as I pulled in and I grabbed my camera for the show. To the astute observer, there will be something odd with these shots. :-)
I saw those three trees on the flank of a hill back in January in Damüls on an evening walk. They stand in a triangle on this empty slope in the shadow, while the clouds in the background are hit by the light of the setting sun.
