Brown Thrasher

the lone Brown Thrasher

obscure on its shaded perch

sings a wild solo

Yellow-shafted Northern Flickers

leaf-filled gopher hole

a pair of Northern Flickers

sift through the debris

Black-necked Stilt

the harsh, loud cry of

the elegant Black-necked Stilt

contrasts with its looks

John Chestnut Park

Northern Parulas

and Tufted Titmice sing -  look

in the clearing:  deer 

Great Black-backed Gull

the Great Black-backed Gull -

among motley, common birds -

so large, majestic

Time Travel as Excuse for Blurred Image

a brass telescope

on a Victorian ship

views a Brown Booby

a still mosquito

sitting in afternoon sweat

on the zen cushion
