Twitcher
Madalyn LoCoco
Common yellowthroat
Nestled in a sidewalk crack
A passing shadow
Downy Woodpecker
Talented percussionist
Wears a scarlet hat
White-breasted nuthatch
Matches the blue-gray ocean
Singing through the leaves
The Great Blue Heron
Where the river meets the sky
A majestic sight
Speedy yellow flash
American Goldfinches!
Winged acrobats
Northern Cardinal
Return of those in the sky
Flying love letter
Plump body, big head
It’s the Black-Capped Chickadee!
Orders "cheeseburgers"
Red, yellow, and gray
Paint on a big blue canvas
Lighting up my eyes
