Thrasher,
tanager,
finch,
Cactus wren,
warbler,
Gambel's quail,
white-winged dove,
Gila woodpecker,
phainopepla,
even a vireo
all know
my bird feeder
is the place to go.
And two hawks circle
float in the sky
making those birds
flutter and fly.
The birds are having a grand time in my backyard today. I've counted 10 white winged doves sitting on the fence in a row. The music is wonderful from the small song birds. The Gila woodpecker is a pest. She lives in one of the holes in the Saguaro and dines at my house. I wouldn't mind, but she keeps trying to drink from my hummingbird feeder and with her long this beak, she does a great job of it. If you were a bird, what kind would you be? Can you write a persona poem today in the voice of a bird? Have fun.
