" Sometimes Echoing Haiku "
by Suzán Jiván
Sometimes echoing
fast flying while summering
mostly hollow notes
Readily drumming
puffed up ruffs wing thump male strut
cackle cluck tundra
Shows purplish neck sacs
scattered scrub oak, not yellow
mellow cooing sounds
Favoring tall grass
buff on female, white on male
chunky puffy head
Dry rocky canyons
unmistakable patterns
hatching rapidly
Lowland chaparral
usually elusive
reddish cap, black patch
Less scaly patterns
giving low descending, "waow"
white faced, red eyed
Also seen at times
recognizable pink bills
naked greenish heads
Escaped flamingoes
highly social, quite local
known by bright pink tones...
