Fowl Play

   When our golf course closed, the fairway behind our home became just another field. The owner decided to make all 18 fairways into tree farms. With that, many birds and critters felt safe to search for food. We counted: 

12 turkeys pecking

11 squirrels scrambling

10 ibis nibbling

9 sparrows nesting

8 mocking birds mocking

7 frogs croaking

6 dogs barking

5 hawks circling

4 sandhill cranes standing

3 rabbits hopping

2 coyotes howling 

and a partridge in a pear tree.
