I Saw the Red Kites! (Rare Birds of Prey)

I saw the Red Kites flying high in the sky; What a beautiful site to behold: As they hovered above with the sun shining through, revealing their red, brown and gold. History tells about a century ago, these birds were almost extinct. I swear I saw one as it came sweeping down, give me a mischievous wink. "We're back (was the message) and we're here to stay, sit back and enjoy the view." Then all of a sudden they burst out in song, like a choir right on cue.

Delightful poem! A few weeks ago, I saw an eagle fly by and it was exciting. Your poem brings that excitement back to me. Great job. Krista
