Sense Sonnet - Acher

 Concerned Parents - LP Zoo

Red winged blackbirds as parents be

Very protective of their nest

When hatchlings are in infancy,

And keep guard with a lot of zest.

When the birds see humans too near,

The birds launch a dive bomb attack.

Of the humans they have no fear,

Striking human heads in the back.

In late June this does tend to calm

When the chicks are now doing well.

Not so worried be Dad and Mom,

And gone is the bird bombing hell.

The red winged blackbirds are guests too

Here at home in Lincoln Park Zoo.
