Birds and herds
of cows
and mule deer
grazing freely
Downey woodpecker
upside down
Antelope squirrel
right side up
Golden eagle rests treetop
hiding his wingspan
House finches
at home singing
Black-billed Magpie
cries yak yak yak
Junco sporting
his black hood
Coopers hawk flies low
Red tail screaming loudly
blue sky ceiling and
river flowing west to east
Mallards know their way
Remote rangelands
offer silence to the soul
Heartbeats ringing.
