Precious Little Bird

They are precious little birds Not a lot of them around A Black-capped Vireo they’re called Witchita Mountains is where they’re found This bird is one of a kind There is olive green on his back White spectacles this little guy wears And a charming little black cap Yellow wing bars too are his markings That adds a lot of warmth and charm I would love to have a place To keep him from all harm So much seems to be against them And they’re on the endangered list But there are folks that help them out So safer places do exist In the Salt Creek Canyon area Is the perfect wildlife place Special folks work hard To keep these little birds safe You’ll have to visit the Salt Creek Bridge Is a such wonderful and unique sight It all appears to be created For this precious little bird’s plight Red dirt edges the water A charming place to go I hope you can come along You’re sure to enjoy it, I know!
