"Today, let’s experience the joy of bird songs! Write a haibun that alludes to bird songs, or your favorite songbird."


A dawn chorus of songbirds is a delight to hear.  I look out my window, and up into the nearby trees to try and determine which song and bird are a match.  I usually cannot see them as their concert tweets on.

When my husband and I would go out to Montauk, Long Island, there was one bird that had such a distinct sound, but we never got to see it.  If I had to describe the sound, it would be, pffft-ttt ttt ttt ttt ttt.  We called it the Montauk bird.

      chorus begins
      sounds of spring melodies
      birdsong
