Chickadee or Goldfinch

How could it be
the sleek goldfinch
I see
each day
became the
round chickadee in winter’s snow upon the deck?

Now I know
they share the seeds
the genes
the species
mates and dates
and yellow fates.

Riddle#4

Spring Snow Blizzard in Austerlitz, NY

Waterproof
playboy
scanning for ice, flakes,
ATV, treads, mates, alpine
dogs, drinking snow, howling, peeing hot on ice mounds.

( Is this a FIB?)
