An inmate tells that he is in A business. When asked about it, he says he is not in the A business. He is not even in the B or C or D business. Reminded me of Billy Collins

The beginning lines
The plain was grassy, wild and bare reminded me of The woods are lovely, dark and deep poem. Somehow the lovely does not fit there, I'd like it better with lonely. Similar one There was atime when meadow, stream and grass.
The tabor in this poem, with tom tom reminds me of seven caveats in May by Maxine Kumin.
Another beginning line with a Heavy hand is Sometimes in the heat of the snow

His work nekyia or necromancy.
There once lived a woman who tried to kill her neighbors baby is scary fairy tales.
I liked the 'Incident at Sokolniki' story. Even dead people seem to need the last rite done well that they are haunted by the lack of observance of the rite.

The book is about birds and what they eat(or what we should or should not feed them), where they live and all the other things they do. He degrades them in the beginning to put them on the pedestal after the introduction.
I have read a Q&A book on birds before that didnt sustain my readership for too long. Compared with that, this book is an eye candy with accurate, lyric and funny illustrations. Its an ear candy too with the poems in it. My favourie is Dixon Lanier Merrit's poem in which he rhymes pelican with '(his bill can hold more than his)belican' and '(But i'm damned if I see how the) helican'.
If you are a beginner, you will learn a lot about how the birds 'flying' rules all of its other activities - molting, what organs it can or cannot have. For a bird with scavenging habits, you cannot have feathers on your neck. The most amazing fact to know for me was the duration of day that it takes to make an egg. Again its the need to fly for food. Bird mommy gets no maternity leave. That they discard their nitrogen in a way very differet from mammals which again goes back to how it cant bloat itself so that it can fly. Dusting. Anting and many other phenomenon.
If you have not done birdwatching before, theres a how to.
With so much going on about air controllers caught sleeping while on duty, a patrol crane with a stone held in its feet might have a way out for waking when you fall asleep.
When the author describes how the birds drink water, from what I have seen or remember, I think they posess a soaking ability. I will have to watch more keenly and look for them to hold their head back to gulp it down.
If you are not a beginner, still there are many new things that will you make you wonder about the bird world. That swifts cant walk very well like other birds, having chosen the fast life. The technique of Albatroses and others with their tubenoses that desalinate might help us too. If you knew all this about birds, there are still many quotes, poems and anecdotes to enjoy. The best i like is by Emily Dickinson - 'I hope you love birds,too. It is economical. It saves going to Heaven'.
I have added a new item to my wish list. To watch a mass migration.

When Graham finds a stash of biblical notes in Legacy of a Pack Rat, I didnt realise the significance not knowing that Billy Graham was an evangelist.
