Our Birds
Our birds fly way down south when our fall turns to winter, when our winter turns to spring our birds come back again. So keep our flyways clean our traditions with the birds, and our spirit going.

Fantastic Flyways
Birds flying,
Flying on highways,
Up high in the sky.
Highways called flyways,
For birds to fly away.
Flying from Alaska along the Pacific Coast,
On the Pacific flyway.
The fly to Alaska to eat our green grass,
And live on our ponds.
Enriching our traditions by letting us catch them,
But we don’t catch a lot.
Thank the Birds.

The
Fantastic
Flyway
Will
Guide
Them.
Birds are flying away.
Not tomorrow, but today!
Don’t be sad,
Be glad
Because they’re comin’ back,
So all your sadness you need to lack.
The flyways will guide them,
And they’ll be back again!!!!

Fantastic Flyways
are highways
in the air above us.
Ducks and geese
fly these skyways
in the air above us.
Fantastic!

Almost everyday my dad flies the skies of Alaska.
Many geese and ducks fly the same airways.
Both use wings to take to the air.
But they are different…
My dad uses a metal plane
While geese and ducks rely on their feathers.
Geese and ducks take to the flyways,
flying so, so far south.

I can not wait until spring,
because all the things will happen again,
the geese will come back,
the loons will come back,
and all the birds will sing.

I hope they come back
I hope they come back until fall
I hope they come home

Fantastic Flyways, Enriching Our Traditions
Geese fly away
Geese come and geese go.
Some geese get caught
Some geese live
Some geese lay eggs
And we get more geese.
Seeing geese fly makes me proud.
