While I drove by . . .

On a cool sunny day,
we drove
North.
I counted the raptors as we went
10 Turkey Vultures,
soaring and circling,
a single bird flew fast across the road
to fast to identify,
a red-shouldered hawk soaring to the right
and on a sign by the side of the road,
a tiny little hawk,
a kestrel,
watched the ground
intently,
while I drove by
on a cool sunny day.
