Where the new Olympic Discovery Bridge crosses the river
the common merganser, eagle and the ouzel were flying below
at sunset 18 Turkey Vultures drifted past
swallows swarmed by the hundreds making me dizzy
Its great weather for these gliders,
plenty of cumulus, no nimbus

In Port of the Angeles at 7th & Laurel, a pair of crows on the sidewalk
they engaged in pre-copulatory behaviors
in full view of the Methodists
