Missouri Backyard Bird Count One happy little bluebird Along comes another And now there are 2 Drinks the morning dew A pair of bright red cardinals On a branch they mount Birds for you to count Now there are 4 2
Come to join the rest A nuthatch and a chickadee Now there are 6 Which one do you like best Two redheaded woodpeckers Hammer out a song 8 birds have come along Now in your backyard 3
Bathing in a birdbath Is a little wren He’s joined by his sister Now we’re up to 10 4
The birds fly off and hide My goodness me Here comes the cat Quickly run and grab the cat And take him back inside This will not be the end Now don’t you fret or worry Here comes a little bluebird The counting starts again 5
