Notes About The Poem

Birds on Birdwatchers

Birdwatchers try to name us, 
Wishing they could be us;
But you cannot blame us,
If, despite who sees us,
Whatever fate befalls us, 
We don’t care what they calls us.

Thanks Thriveni! I have to admit the truth. I like plants, flowers, trees, birds, and other kinds of animals. However, except for the case of many mammals I learned when I was young, I don't know the names of very many of them. I really feel like I should take a closer look. My son and his fiancé are avid birdwatchers, and they are very good at identifying birds. I think it is a nice hobby.

Witty and fun! Indeed they the birds likely see us as not productive time wasters watching them get their early worms!
