on wings of spring

 

 

paddling of ducks

mallard hatchlings learn to swim

fresh pack of quackers

 

plump covey of quail

rippling waves of prairie grass

breast speckled feathers

 

homing honks echo

a skein of canada geese

unravels the sky

    Three fun haikus, a trilogy Asian response; cool. Each one, as they should, could stand alone, but your avian thread works well. I dig the second haiku the most.
