More poems about Birds.

PEREGRINE FALCONS
In the big city of Toronto two peregrine falcons nest,
Mariah and her soul mate have returned to do their best
To rear young ones and each year they seem to succeed
To rear a nest full of chicks without too much worry or fear.

They take it in turns to sit and guard their great treasure,
Three eggs we have seen so far, not the same measure,
As last year when five chicks grew to full maturity,
Fed, looked after by parents until they could fly free.

Go to the web page and peep into their snug safe home,
They work out who is sitting and who is out for a roam.
Four pictures are shown, different angles so all can see
The marvel of nature and how young birds come to be.

Quite often views are updated, a new picture comes to view,
And you can see the changes made, see something new,
Thank you Kodak people for showing us this great sight,
Seeing natures miracles before our eyes in perfect light.
