Vismaya - so named by Sanjeev - a Peregrine Falcon whom he had day-to-day eyes on; Vismaya, who came when Maya the Shaheen left, or so it seemed.
Let me tell you about her, why the fuss.
CSK bus below
Bedecked in yellow
And most miss this raptor, in plain sight of our noses.
Off to the marsh at dusk and dawn
From this perch, she will be gone
Pigeon stunned
with fist, not gun
Cleaned and eaten on the adjacent pylons.
Life lived in solitude
Not even the crow dare intrude
Her Tiercel partner much smaller
She may meet in the northern summer
and hopefully eyases, they will together brood.
We wish you safe travels up north
And hope you come back, as you go forth
Maybe next time as a pair?
Chennai does treat you so fair
with enough prey through our winter for you both!
:)
