Our Fellow Bird Vocalizations opus 524
| 7 February 2025 0050 Hours | | Ornithology, Music, Poetry |
How loud is the peacock's cry breaking the dawn.
The lark follows with melodious vocalizations.
The robin on the lawn, hunting for worms,
Flies to a tree and puffs out its flute-like territorial melody.
A background chiming is uttered by the Song Sparrow,
Followed by the mellow but penetrating
Organ pipes of the Wood Thrush;
As night falls, the longing cry of the Loon.
And in the moonlight, the Pygmy Owl lets out
Its soft, decreasing series of hoots.
A symphony for those who know,
And would appreciate, throughout the daily cycle.
