A number of years ago the "Bathrobe Brigade" will recall a watcher named dale. She was a marvelous artist and had a side gig doing dj dale raps about our falcons. I have all her raps saved
This full rap is long and it's not quite time yet for the whole thing, but I saw a picture today that made me think of the opening stanza of this particular one with a slight change...
dj dale's dream: Five Weeks Dead Bluejay (Starling) Head / The Juvies' Tail
I was dozing at my roost and I dreamed a glowing head,
The head was from a bluejay! Said I, you're five weeks dead!
"I never died, said he; I've been soaring through the skies;
I'm one with five young falcons gliding free with raucous cries.
I'm privy to their story, and I'll pass on what I've heard,
So, DJ, tell the DB what you're learning from this bird:"
