you're a bird of paradise
they hunt you for your feathers
we're turkey vultures
eating your scraps together
you claim to be an eagle
an icon for us all
but you're really just a pheasant
mounted on my wall
I'm a California Condor
rarest of the breeds
there's very few of us
very few and far between
oh I'm a frigate bird
I'm fighting for my meals
you're just a mockingbird
looking for the next identify to steal
ohhhh this Audubon Society
we all have wings and fly
but do you live to fly or fly to die

Didn't get the raise that I deserved
Got pulled over after I swerved
Some would say this year was bad
But at least I saw lots of birds
Migratory tells my story
Can't stay in just one place
Slapped by a girl, the cutest in the world
For asking her to sit on my face
Like the great blue heron I'm sitting
Gotta earn my meals by fishing
Lost my job got no more cash
Know this terrible year won't last
Cause all these different birds
Seem to come and go so fast

If you think I'm gonna climb it
Then you better think again
Not one more fuckin mountain
I say to you my friend
These Catskills much colder than we thought
All the waters frozen that we brought
Got nerve damage
Didn't mean to
An enjoyably sleepless night
In the lean-to
Frozen boots
Frozen solid
Getting Dark
Getting Worried
I shit on my hand
Oh you don't understand

Don't believe what you see
Don't believe what you hear
Cause Nick Distefano he is near
Don't speak of any of your problems
Don't speak of any of your fears
Cause Nick Distefano he can hear
Proceed with very much caution
When you are venturing upstream
Cause Nick Distefano
May or may not be seen
Keep out, keep out, keep out
Nick Distefano
Cat-daddies, crawl daddies, Lillpaddies
All could be Nick Distefano
I don't trust these sunbathing terrapins
They know something that we don't
I don't trust any of these ripples
That are hanging outside my boat
Now I know the signs there for a reason
Time of the year for Nick Distefano feeding
Better return to the dock before the sun goes
Nick Distefano moves quicker than the wind blows

Pituophis melanoleucus
Pituophis melanoleucus
Don't mind me, I make my own burrow
Hopefully I'll see you tomorrow
It's the plight, the plight of the pine snake
Fight or flight, I'll take the latter
Fight or flight, I'll take the latter
I'll just take the latter
Pituophis melanoleucus

I'll take it as it comes
We'll see how it goes
No need to fake it
My optimism grows
Bits of wisdom on
Life, success, and meaning
Put them down on paper
Let's shout em to the sealing
Fuck this down and out bullshit
It's burnt toast done
The roast is dry
I choose instead to see the bright side
Because our day is soon to come
To bask in the moment, just bask in the sun
Turn on the light, smash the dimmer
Because Roy G is positivity
and the Hues are total fuckin' winners

Sage Grouse

Strut, Thrust, Jiggle
Western dwelling
sage grouse
Millions, Thousands
Then there’s none
We need to protect the Sage Grouse
Before they’re gone
Buffer Zones
Endangered Species List
Work Together
Or this beautiful bird
Will cease to exist
For energy, for the economy
They must grow
But will anyone stop to ask
Where will the Sage Grouse
Where will the Sage Grouse Go?

Soaring high
Don't you look up
While I'm looking down
Projectile vomit
All over you and your brow
I'm road kill control
And I'm preventing diseases
Feeding off the aftermath of your
Newly licensed nieces
Having me and my brothers
Feed on you would be a bummer
Hope you brought some water
When you're walking in the summer
Thanks for the signs of your lost pets
I'd sure like to know what I'm about to eat next
Keen sense of smell
I'll surely find the carcass
Waiting in the trees for the next
Targets

State population is critically below
Fifty-percent like to go where no
Tan lines show
Piping plover
Loves the nude beach
