Some birds distinctive in their chirp or song
Once heard you never seem to get them wrong
The magpie and the blackbird and pee wee
By voice alone familiar birds to me
Of Nature little i can claim to know
And yet my wonder of her only grow
Many birds by voice i cannot recognize
Of Nature i know less than i realize
The kookaburra one could not mistake
He laughs loud in the dark before daybreak
And no mistaking the call of the pale eyed crow
A voice that everybody seems to know
Most birds distinctive by their chirp or song
Though many of them i seem to get wrong.
