tufted titmouse
Across North America, a common choice
At home in a mob
Little gray bird with an echoing voice
flitting through twig ends in a dive-bomber bob.
Attracted by others calling you out….
PETER-PETER-PETER .
Large black eyes, small, round bill, a little stout
peter-peter-pete, an eleven-time repeater
.
No ascending trill goes unmatched
songs at dawn with no moratorium
From you nest wall’s little hatch,
used-up notes repeated ad nauseum.
Flitting through the canopies
Your brushy crest is a noble shroud.
Not to be confused with common Chickadees.
performing acrobatics in an unruly crowd.
