Flocking to Malheur in the Springtime

In the Spring, the flocking begins.

Ross’s Geese, Chen rossii

Flocks alighting,
Optics focusing.

American Bittern, Botaurus lentiginosus

Nature’s fireworks on display
Exploding in a timeless rhythm.

Say’s Phoebe, Sayornis saya

Wings fluttering,
Voices trumpeting.

Malheur Birdwatchers

Welcoming visitors to share
In a celebration of Spring.

Flocking to Malheur.
