[00:00.00]Cowbirds - Lorraine Feather
[00:24.48]I wake up to the sound of the cowbirds
[00:35.58]Their burbling beautiful cry
[00:44.20]You can see them all day at the cherrywood feeder
[00:54.99]They started appearing in early July
[01:07.78]They are stocky and glossy
[01:13.65]Certainly bossy
[01:16.40]But no more than the jays
[01:23.32]As they finish their feeding
[01:28.81]I begin reading
[01:32.25]Of their curious ways
[01:39.55]They gather no moss
[01:42.54]They carry no leaves
[01:45.10]To fashion fine homes
[01:48.09]In the trees or the eaves
[01:51.21]A cowbird roams the woods until
[01:56.58]She finds a nest that fills the bill
[02:03.07]Snug in a tower of green
[02:08.37]She stays awhile but doesnt brood
[02:14.30]She wont return to offer food
[02:20.24]But simply flees the scene
[02:30.72]
[02:31.90]Her young one hatches quickly
[02:37.27]And does what hes wired to do
[02:44.38]With a purposeful thrust of his juvenile legs
[02:52.37]He starts to dispose of the resident eggs
[03:01.60]Make short work of the slumbering finches or phoebes
[03:13.21]Who drop to the ground without any sound
[03:24.63]Or he leaves them quite alone
[03:31.18]Soon a stranger arrives to fill his gaping beak
[03:40.73]As if he were one of her own
[03:50.53]The tale will be told in the course of a week
[03:58.71]The latecomers fragile and small
[04:06.87]Will get little or nothing at all
[04:17.71]The dusk is alive with the call of the cowbirds
[04:30.70]The striking display of their wings
[04:40.12]I watch them hold court by the cherrywood feeder
[04:49.98]And quietly ponder the nature of things
[05:03.76]How stars that have died can collide in the night
[05:12.20]Make such a grand show as they spatter
[05:21.55]How sunsets that bring up a groan of delight
[05:30.10]Are filled with particulate matter
[05:40.46]How it hardly seems fair
[05:43.54]That some birds get the boot
[05:46.84]So others can live and grow fat
[05:52.83]Theres a metaphor there
[05:56.45]But its low-hanging fruit
[06:00.19]So maybe Ill leave it at that
[06:11.30]As a stout baby cowbird falls asleep
[06:20.54]To the piteous cheep of a ghost
[06:28.15]And the sound of his mamas mantra:
[06:36.52]May we ever outnumber our host
