Deep in the greens of summer sing the lives
I’ve come to love. A vireo whets its bill.
The great day balances upon the leaves;
My ears still hear the bird when all is still;
My soul is still my soul, and still the Son,
And knowing this, I am not yet undone.
  (Infirmity by Theodore Roethke)

Permanent resident along U.S. and
Mexican west coast...resembles
Ruby-throated Kinglet.
