Animals in the Wild

1/01/2021

Hawk hovering in the Sky                           Egret by a small stream

 

This little bird can drill hundreds of holes 

on a single tree trunk with thunderous speed and might

                 It’s a woodpecker !

The wild turkey took her young for a 

leisure stroll on a low wooden fence

These songbirds are easily found in Taiwan*

I often woke up to their trilling morning calls

The birdsongs are pleasing to the ears and 

calm the mind during time of quarantine 

* 這鳥兒名”白頭翁”

 

On a street near a marketplace in Taipei 

A brood of swallows nesting 

on a piece of wooden board 

residents of the Qilou built for them

(Taipei, Taiwan)

市場邊的民房騎樓

屋角下住了另一家住戶

燕子啣泥築了巢

居民貼心的在下面釘了片木板

騎樓下買菜的行人

不致頭頂遭殃

 

A snail with a shell

compared to a designer’s art

這只蝸牛的外殼 直可比美巧匠手藝

Two deer outside the fence

這兩頭鹿探頭探腦

就想跳進院子來嚐鮮

A deer in the front yard

這隻約摸四、五月大的小鹿

在外面草坪上休憩

像在自己家中

見了人也不躲

A few migratory birds taking their naps during flight

on the frozen lake

Sea lions sun-bathing on the beach
