[BREWER'S SPARROW] Jim Bradley c. 1995 ========================== When on the plains either you or I May encounter the song of Spizella breweri, Best eaten when cooked on a skewer, A delicious sparrow named after Tom Brewer, Slipping fast We're not sure of the reasons, Declining quickly in most physiographic regions, They finish breeding then southward they go, Sometimes all the way to Mexico. ======== ** contributory thanks to Sam Droege ** ======== ========
