Diving before me in repetitious motion
Occasionally scooping a shadowy streak
In its otherwise amusing most useful beak.
Blue-footed Boobies step in syncopation
Sifting for tidbits with antic gyration
Sooner than later you sight one a munchin'
While searching on sandbars for tasty luncheon.
Up Rio, Egrets cluster together
Flocked on the river, birds of a feather
China white cloud as they burst into flight
Souring together in compadre delight.
Paricos abound in this tropical clime
Verdant, turquoise and radiant lime
Chattering loudly as if in agreement
That paradise suits them far better than cement.
While Hummingbirds hover as if in suspension
Sipping the nectar in every direction
So silent these tiny jewels of the air
Except for their wing songs, you'd not be aware.
Myriad creatures abound in this bay
So grand to witness another Yelapa Day.
