Perisoreus Canadensis

We call you whisky jack
For your fearless and familiar habits
When you frequents the camps of lumbermen
In the winter season...
And all of them are agree to say
That you are a cute and friendly companion
When you come and eat out of their hands.

Pagodroma Nivea

At thousand miles from land,
Like fleecy snow on the stormy blast,
The warning bird brings hope
To the mariner cursed.

Sayornis Saya

Almost every time out

At least once it comes

When I stop to listen and look

Standing still in the dumb beauty
Of some waste place

Some forgotten back lot

Some weedy haunt

Even without hearing

The warbled song
Or seeing the flash

Of its red crown

Or white throat
It comes in a rush

And lifts me on its holy wings.

Cyanocitta Cristata

The Blue Jay is a very special bird,
because he is the only one
to have kept his true color...
