Fussbudget fury
untitled works dust and dirt
illusional whirls of Western birds

variable black wrist patches
kinked crooked wings
on dihedrals

think-necked
needle-tailed
green-winged teals

rapidly dabbling
wintering at sea
no breast streaking

lobed feet
two of three species
feeding breeding

wingless larvae
heavily blotched
great knots

hooded mergansers
rose-ringed white-winged parakeets
parrots as escapees

rock doves
rising then dropping
in pitch

soft gurgling,
" coo-roo-coo
coo-roo-coo
coo-roo-coo"...
