" Kittiwakes "...

" Kittiwakes "

by Suzán Jiván

Kittiwakes
black-legged
red-legged

hollow nasal voices
often in chorus
across open salt water

falsetto squeals
repeated
in cliff colonies

seen plunge diving
near nest sites
pale primaries

tipped black and white triangles
while fishing mainly at night
becoming more-or-less silent
in winter time...
