Mockingbirds, whippoorwills and honeybees are among my favorite flying creatures!

I love the first two–honeybees I’m a little less enthusiastic about. They’re still bees and can therefore still sting. However, they make honey… they can’t be that bad.

I may not be able to sing, but I can buzz. Great haiku.
