Sorry you had to google, Gillena, normally I put in hyperlinks under bird names so that you can quickly go check on the species if you don't know it. I've now added one!
Lovely haiku. I enjoy watching the chimney swifts at the old houses at the museum and the cliff swallows who build their nests under the bridge at the river near here. Their aerobatics amaze me.
lovely!

You wait half an hour for a swift and then two come at once! I have yet to see any over Marchmont, but shall keep eyes (and ears) open.
ReplyDeleteI have been thinking about the swifts today. Have a great week end.
ReplyDeleteI bet they are graceful in flight but very quick so you have to count them fast! :)
ReplyDeleteha; very clever; i ride the bus to save gas sometimes; wishing they were swift like the bus.
ReplyDeleteGreat Scott! What do the other people at the bus stop think??
ReplyDeleteThis occurred to me after my last comment:
ReplyDeleteSwifts are like buses.
You wait half an hour and then –
Two arrive at once.
Hmm, perhaps I should stick to the music and leave the poetry to you!
EG Wow - that's exactly what they're like!
ReplyDeleteRabbits Guy - people generally think I'm weird anyway, so seeing me starign up at the sky, they're not going to be surprised....
Howard - that's not a bad haiku you know!
A delightful haiku Juliet - we have black swifts here but they are very rare and endangered.
