Snippet:
The Regal Eagle
The regal eagle sits alone
upon a tree that serves as a throne.

My blog has ants today with the book Ant Antics by Deborah Lock http://blog.wrappedinfoil.com/2011/08/ant-antics/

Nice to see some new faces.

Thank you so much for setting this up. (I’m afraid I’m on West Coast time, so I’m always a little late. )

I haven’t yet met a poet who hasn’t written SOMETHING about birds. I love that they used real photographs in the Yolen collection. Thanks for sharing, Anastasia!
