- Description: Fourth of July parade flyover // Three birds / Photographically frozen in flight / One red, one blue, one white / Hawk, heron and great egret / They could not know they made a flag / And if they did, they would not brag / Because the human course of events / Does not hold nature in suspense

B Square file photos of local Bloomington birds photographed in 2023 by Dave Askins.

This is a B Square “reprint” from July 4, 2023\. 

**Fourth of July parade flyover**

Three birds  
Photographically frozen in flight  
One red, one blue, one white  
  
Hawk, heron and great egret  
They could not know they made a flag  
And if they did, they would not brag  
  
Because the human course of events  
Does not hold nature in suspense
