A true conservationist
is a man who knows
that the world is not
given by his fathers, but
borrowed from his children.

Pyrrhuloxia Photographed in Sabino Canyon by kenne
This male pyrrhuloxia looks a lot like a female Northern Cardinal and its song is nearly identical to the cardinal.

Ruby-crowned Kinglet — Image by kenne
The trail was quiet
The breeze was calm.
What is that little bird
With all that energy?
Wings constantly flicking
Chattering out his songs
The hiker pulls out
His nature guide.
Was this nervous fliting
Bird just passing through?
Looks like a kinglet,
Possible a ruby-crowned
Spending the winter
In Sabino Canyon.

We dance round a ring and suppose,
But the secret sits in the middle, and knows.

I’m not a birder
but I can see
and hear
the birds around me.
I depend on
the knowledge
and discipline
of others
to identify
what I see and hear.
sometimes I identify
birds in my photographies
sometimes I’m wrong —
save a bird,
photograph them.
