Great-tailed grackles

 Do great-tailed grackles

have a Spanish accent?

The hundreds perched

in the ficus trees along


the Alameda de Santa Lucia

Near the bus station

In Antigua, Guatemala

Shout, Si, si, ¿Nos oyes?


But when we fly up

to Marfa, Texas in April,

we sing like Willie Nelson, with

a cowboy twang and crackle.
