Varied Bunting on a Mesquite Limb — Image by kenne
He sings from the mesquite,
not for us,
but as if the air itself
needed a name
to keep from vanishing.

Thank you, Kenne, for the beautiful poem and the bird whose song inspired it.

Hi Kenne,
Your photo and poem guided me toward learning more about “Varied Bunting” and this:
The Varied Bunting (Passerina versicolor) is a species of songbird in the cardinal family, Cardinalidae.
The more I seek, the more I find.
Thanks Kenne!
