An unkindness of ravens, a murder of crows,
Ebony sentinels on wires in rows,
A convocation of eagles, and exaltation of larks,
Winged assemblies over the parks,
A covey of partridges a bevy of quail,
Hidden in dry grass at the edge of the trail,
A pandemonium of parrots, a muster of peacocks,
Bright lights flashing above the gray rocks,
A covert of coots, a gaggle of geese,
Sounds on the water, a memory of peace,
A rafter of turkeys, a siege of herons,
Keepers of the wilds and the barrens,
A watch of nightingales, a parliament of owls,
Night patrols of the of silent fowls.
