Island Birds

Island Birds

by Bud Lemire on June 11, 2013

A sunny day on the island, can be so pleasant

The many birds seen, why even a Pheasant

The Swallows, the Chipping Sparrow, and the Mourning Dove

To my ears what I hear is the song of love

The Hummingbird, Cedar Waxwing, and Chickadee

Are just some of the birds on the Island that I see

The Yellow Warbler, Yellow Rumped Warbler, and the Cowbird

Was that a Baltimore Oriole that I just heard?

The Brown Thrasher, and Scarlet Tanager too

So many birds that will sing for you

The Robin, and the Starling are there

The Seagull and the Tern are in the air

Swans are in the water with the Canadian Geese

In the Yacht Harbor, they come in peace

A Flicker right there in the tree

Over there an Eastern Kingbird I see

A Horned Grebe and Mallard swam by

Then there's Bob, people stop to say “hi”

The American White Pelican often makes a stop

And sometimes an Eagle is seen in the tree top

The Merganser is usually having a bad hair day

Then there is the aggressive Blue Jay

So many birds that you can see

That's why I bring my camera with me
