Curve-billed Thrasher — Image by kenne

For a while I could not remember some word

      I was in need of,

and I was bereaved and said: where are you,

      beloved friend?

Curve-billed Thruster at Patio Feeder On Easter Morning — HDR image by kenne

Back from my morning walk
Time for coffee on the patio
And watching birds at the feeder.

Curve-billed Thrasher Video   3 comments

This curve-billed thrasher was one of two on the neighbor’s ocotillo plant that I videoed in the following clip. — kenne

Chlorophyll captures hard radiation

My plumage explodes forth with colors bright

Transmutes into my dream’s pigmentation

In proud defiance of sun’s bleaching light

 

My plumage explodes forth with colors bright

I sprout a thousand flames rose tangerine

In proud defiance of sun’s bleaching light

Brush bold orange on the baked desert scene

Curve-billed Thrasher at Patio Bird Feeder   Leave a comment

Curve-billed Thrasher at Patio Bird Feeder — Image by kenne

As I sit on our patio
watching birds land
in near-by mesquites

before flying to the
olive tree on the patio,
then gathering the nerve

to bolt to the bird feeders.
They are not pleased
that I sit on the patio

with a camera in hand.
Soon, the desire to eat
takes priority over fear.

A curve-billed Thrasher

Looks at the camera’s eye

Bringing eye to eye.

Open against the blue sky
Dignity abounds.

Perched singing to all

On a rock beneath a tree

Noting our presence.
