Determined to perch
On the porch, drenched mocking bird
Shivers off spring rain.
Determined to perch
On the porch, drenched mocking bird
Shivers off spring rain.
29 Scaup float,
Vanguard of the migration,
Bills tucked under wings
Something deep shifted:
Once dark with ducks & geese, now
Lake gulls screech alone.
Minor official,
Great American Empire,
Now heron watching.
13 loons fishing
Amidst whitecaps & seagulls -
Loons dive, seagulls swirl.
Empty nesting box
Were the Ospreys blown away?
Violent thunder storm
On my neighbor’s dock,
Vulture Guild bleakly perches:
Not much died today.

When I was a child
The night was loud and bright with
Whippoorwills, fireflies.

Birds in a frenzy
But four stuffed crows stand in line
Midst the mayfly hatch

This Spring’s first osprey
Flying high west towards sunset
Returned from Brazil
The purple martins
Fly again at Lake Murray
Swift bugs flee in vain
