Ruffled Feathers

RUFFLED FEATHERS We tramp through tall grass water up to our ass to disturb wild, winged creatures and to photograph their awesome features. We use the greek and latin names when speaking to our pals We chase birds from one nest to strange and poor locales. We are boorish, giggling louts disturbing babies with our shouts poking through their domains and others thereabouts. We ruffle their feathers and disturb sleep and feeding we jeopardize their habitats and upset natural breeding. We have a lot of fun at winged creatures expense to get the best of pictures we climb the neighbor's fence We trade pictures and stories about the birds we've seen But I think that this behavior is boorish and obscene.
