Peter Pyle is the new e.e. cummings. Seconded– that’s an excellent hat.

I would have liked to hear the dramatic readings. :D The excerpts from Pyle you mention do lend themselves to a kind of poetry:

Shape
and color
pattern

to the
retrices
by feather

generation
and sex
in Zone-

tailed
Hawk. R5
is shown

and is
usually
the last

feather
replaced
during molts

and the most
likely to be
retained

during
the PB2
and DPB.

Eat your heart out, Emily Dickinson! Peter Pyle is the new e.e. cummings.
