Mourning Dove
The soft coo of North American backyards
The soft coo of North American backyards
See-through guardians of rainforest streams
White wings, wild wetlands, loud whoops
The leaf-litter masters of the riverbed
The banjo-voiced frog of pond edges
Spots, folds, and a springtime snore
Born for snow, built for the boreal
Built for drought, powered by rain
Hear the trill-spot the gray treefrog
Green, striped, and built to climb
The frog that thaws back to life
Forest elephant of the Ice Age
Underwool-cloaked guardians of the tundra
Years belowground, weeks in the spotlight
Two-footed seed bankers of the desert
Plant the forest-one flight at a time
Mask of the prairie-dog towns
Bright warning colors. Bitter consequences.
A splash of sky in open fields
Shaggy scavenger of the Kalahari
Hear the forest's "who-cooks-for-you"
Sky-blue sentinel of the open West
Palmate antlers, spotted summer style
The canid that climbs like a cat
