Day 28 Bird

The Bufflehead

The Buffleheads bob in the bay
Male black and white, female brown/gray
Compact ducks submerge to catch food  
Large, rounded heads and short, wide bills
Noted for their fine mating skills
Males swim in front as if they’re rude   
Nodding their heads like no control
Like to nest in woodpecker hole
Fly rapidly as if pursued

Like a bird

Be like a bird, you say
you’ve meant to mean
fly, be free
but what I hear
isn’t so flattering
dig in the dirt, really
that’s all you’re good for
surface the worms
we’ll ask you
when we need them
to do a dirty job
otherwise,
eat them
