" Common Calls "...

" Common Calls "

Common calls
getting 
louder and louder
straighter on average
along edges 
of shallow still ponds

head-bobbing throngs
flushing raucous
purposefully walking
foraging 
paller overall 
belly-deep water

solitary spotted 
upslurred melodic
remarkably stocky
upon feeding 
on grasshoppers
buffy bodies
Marbled Godwits...
