[cayugabirds-l] Cayuga Bird Club Trip Haiku

2010-02-20 Thread Susan Danskin
Dave was right, I was tired, it took a while to compose the Haiku, and of 
course I had to watch the Olympics.  Obviously not everything is reported here. 
 It was fun to write.  Hope you enjoy.
Susan

Bird Club trip report
Tired of writing in prose
Haiku used instead
 
Fun on Saturday
All the way around the lake
Nice day of birding
 
Joined by Ann Dave Klaus
Sara Jane and Larry too
Gary and Judy
 
East Shore Park at first
Redheads, Goldeneye abound
White-winged Scoter male
 
Ladoga Park next
Trio of Snow Geese plus Coots
Coopers Hawk great look
 
Amidst Canadas
A Greater White-fronted Goose
Myers a success
 
Bathrooms and coffee
Pileated Woodpecker
Triangle Diner
 
Blue birds in cedars 
Yellow-rumped warbler flashes
Road just past Long Point
 
Wells College boathouse
Choppy looks at four Horned Grebe
No companion Earred
 
No Screechie in sight
Not so many birds to see
Both ponds Union Springs
 
Village offices
First looks at swans for the day
Rafts of ducks galore
 
Just south of Mudlock
Tundra and Trumpeter Swans
No Eagles on nest

Rough-leggeds, Eagles
Short-earred owl chased by crow
Mucklands raptor show
 
Van Dyne Spoor no Shrike
Freight trains block exit to pass
Fifteen minutes lost
 
West side at Dean’s Cove
Red-breasted Mergs so handsome
Evening approaching
 
More White-winged Scoters
This time not just one, a pair
Wyers Point Road, there
 
Larry wants a Loon
Not one on east side or west
Sheldrake, finally!
 
Bird Club trip Haiku
Dave thought it couldn’t be done
Had to prove him wrong
 
Haiku about birds
Not so simple or easy
Next time will be prose
