Birds

2021 3rd & 4th Grade Poetry Honorable Mention

In the deep dark woods
A pecking sounds starts, echoes
A pileated bird pecks
The peninsula
On flooded sturgeon pool
An eagle lets go
A tufted titmouse
Rapidly flies towards food
It eats messily
A red-shouldered hawk
Perched on a semi-barked tree
Scans the snow for prey
