Cat vs. Cowbird

Brown-headed black bird
Comes right up to the window—
Charlie whomps the glass.

Lazy

Remaining in bed
I hear the rain falling down–
Bird voices all hush.

Heron

Statuesque stalker
Of creek-bed frogs, glides like some
cross-country skier.

This blackbird:
Some may say he’s not
That pretty
But I think
With his sleek teal head feathers
He’s a real cracker!

Oriole

Flash of bright orange
Comes and goes throughout the day—
Lord Baltimore’s bird.
