Hattie the Mayo Peregrine,
Has a new babe.
Born May 10th,
Fluffy feathered and brave.
The two other eggs,
Three in all brought forth,
Are still in question,
Will they ever see the world?
Hattie’s still patient,
With a protective eye.
Keeping the chick safe,
As predators fly by.
Once we are sure,
That the other two hatch,
Hattie will teach them,
Their own food to catch.
But, for now it’s unknown,
I see the two pushed aside.
Maybe no life,
Will be found inside.
For now, Dear Hattie,
Will care for her chick.
Soon it will grow strong,
And its own mate someday pick.
