On White Winged Trillers

The male black and white bird in breeding plumage white winged triller has a pleasant song
To the cuckoo shrike family they are known to belong
Out of breeding Season the male a  brownish gray
The female in her grayish plumage all year does stay
In small nest of twigs and lichen bound with spider webs on fork of branch of tree
That from the ground is not hard to see
The female lay blotched bluish eggs of two though sometimes three
They are birds that are not seen regularly
Sometimes in last year's nest of a peewee
They lay their eggs and raise their family
They eat insects they find on the trees and on the ground
And chase bees and flies as they fly around
Birds i know of but do not see every day
So much to know of Nature one only can say.
