Oh Bicknell’s Thrush, to the island in the sea
Island of Hispaniola it must be
winter in a cloud rain forest way up high
You will descend from your night flight in the sky
weak from the exertion, you must be tired
migrating south in autumn is required
in fall, headed to a different habitat
your task is to avoid the predator rat,
now there is a new threat which is gale force winds
warmer seas means more hurricanes are the trend
If your food source is destroyed, will you survive?
Until new insects hatch, you must strive to thrive
In 1502, Columbus sailed with crew
They had to survive very strong winds that blew
No fun to experience a hurricane
Disorienting, such tumultuous rain
if you go high in the mountains inland
for protection, your numbers might just expand
