Grouse Courting
Grouse Courting
I watch the grouse do their dance,
As each feather is enhanced,
Vane or down; they’re preened and cleaned,
Keeping them healthy and streamlined.
At the tail’s base is an oil gland,
Which makes the feathers dry and grand.
From barb to rachis, they’re beak-nibbled
For the courtship ritual.
