82. Feathering the Nest
In spring
birds fly two by two
playing
chasing
dancing on branches
bobbing and bowing
mating
nest building
finding feathers
for beds
for eggs

79. Dusky Snuggles
A Bee Bird, a Woodswallow, a Skimmer, a Bluey, a Jackie Martin and even a Sordid Woodswallow are all names given to one of my fave birds - the Dusky Woodswallow.
