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
