Joysparkler
(Field identification: Laetitia scintilla)
An uncommon open-country bird,
the Joysparkler perches on treetops
and strongly resembles a
glitter-encrusted ornament.
Watch for purple iridescence
on head and top of wings.
Call is a single melodious note;
in flight a long, whispery p-e-a-c-e
with a trill at the end.
May peace and love surround you
this holiday season -
Harlequin Cat
