Our Fellow Bird Vocalizations. How loud is the peacock's cry breaking the dawn. The lark follows with melodious vocalizations. The robin on the lawn, hunting for worms, Flys to a tree and puffs out its flute-like territorial melody. A background chiming is uttered by the Song Sparrow, Followed by the mellow but penetrating Organ pipes of the Wood Thrush; As night falls, the longing cry of the Loon. And in the moonlight, the Pygmy Owl lets out Its soft, decreasing series of hoots. A symphony for those who know, And would appreciate, throughout the daily cycle.
