12 Days of [a California Birder's] Christmas
Between Christmas, December 25th, and Epiphany, January 6th, lie twelve days traditionally set aside for feasting and celebration, forever memorialized in a popular song: The Twelve Days of Christmas.
I'm sure you know the song - and have heard it played a couple dozen times since Thanksgiving - but this year Eric and I made up our own lyrics.
So, without further ado, enjoy my little bit of Christmas corniness!

On the first day of Christmas, my birder gave to me,
A Pine Siskin eating thistle seeds.
On the second day of Christmas, my birder gave to me,
Two Mourning Doves,
And a Pine Siskin eating thistle seeds.
On the third day of Christmas, my birder gave to me,
Three Marsh Wrens,
Two Mourning Doves,
And a Pine Siskin eating thistle seeds.
...And on it goes...
...And on it goes...
On the twelfth day of Christmas, my birder gave to me,
Twelve Dippers diving,
Eleven Plovers piping,
Ten Larks a-peeping,
Nine Lazuli Bunting,
Eight Marbled Murrelet,
Seven Tundra Swans,
Six Ross's Geese,
Five Goldfinches.
Four Mockingbirds,
Three Marsh Wrens,
Two Mourning Doves,
And a Pine Siskin eating thistle seeds.
Merry Christmas,
Everyone!!
Everyone!!
