marianne just turned me on to this eagle cam. it’s a mother/father with an egg, showing live data. / thought id share for those that are into this kind of thing / warning turn down volume of speakers before going to site, (experience talking) / assuming it’s the wind that is creating the static noise. / also when the eagle cries its a very high pitched cry. / she is sitting on egg, and occassionally will fly off quick to return / its pretty cool i think, but then im into that kinda thing :) so check out mama and her egg / This is from the Hancock Wildlife Channel.

My home is surrounded by gardens and forests and we have an abundance of these magnificent little birds – the spendid fairy wrens – more commonly known as “Blue Wrens”. I had the fun of watching a little female wren build a nest in the jade bush a few weeks ago right down at eye (read….CAMERA) level…..and the kids and I have enjoyed watching the whole process. As I took so many photos I thought I would just share them here as a journal rather than do multiple uploads. Little Mrs Wren … and of course….MR Wren himself….. Mrs Wren laid three eggs in her little nest, This was taken on Day Two of the whole process which took exactly three weeks from the eggs being laid till the baby flew the coop ….... On day eleven, the first egg hatched. The baby was smaller than my thumbnail, and resembled a raw chicken at the supermarket….so tiny and fragile with skin covering the eyes. It was hard to imagine that from this point, it would be only ten days till it flew away! This is where it got really interesting. My good camera rarely picks up orbs, nor do I expect it to. I am told by those who “know” that it has something to do with the high quality and curve of the glass/lenses etc, and that to capture orbs the cheaper glass of point and shoot cameras is the best option. But on this day, we were overwhelmed with excitement at seeing the hatchling but even more so, when we viewed the image, discovering there was an orb in its beak. / Mother Wren sits on her nest patiently, except when out foraging for food. These images were taken on day sixteen of the story, where the baby was five days old. By this point we realized the other two eggs were not ever going to hatch, but they remained in the nest just the same. I noticed too, that the orb had reappeared. It made me wonder whether it was an entity drawn to the new energy of the baby bird, or whether it was our joy at seeing this little creature or something similar within us, that was manifested this way …. Ten days since hatching, the little one is out of the nest at last, fumbling around as it tries to get little wings and legs coordinated….. After fluttering on the ground, we took pity and helped lift the baby up to the higher branches of a paperbark tree, where the parents were calling frantically. Typical baby, it never stopped chatting at its Mother…... “food!! food!! food!!!” After a bit of a drama, where the cat suddenly appeared in their tree (where we had helped place the baby), we found the parents and baby back on the ground, and my nine year old daughter gently held out her hand and the baby hopped onto her finger. Together we followed the two screeching parent birds, as they “showed” us where they wanted us to put him….up on the garage roof where there was a large overhanging branch….. their choice of a “better” place to be…. / and so we did…. and they all fluttered off to safety. And the family was complete. I have to admit, I was very impressed with the Father Wren as he was just as protective as the Mother (who naturally got ferocious and very protective when we were trying to help the baby) and at times during our “rescues”, he was right in my face eyeballing me while he hovered mid air, telling me to be careful and not harm his offspring!!! I am aware that in the nature, this process of baby leaving the nest would not require any help from we humans, even if it resulted in tragedy, as that seems to be the process of survival in the wild, but here in my yard, where there is a dog, two ponies and several cats, not to mention many other larger birds, such as crows, kookaburras and magpies etc, we took a bit of responsibility in making sure no harm came to the little one on its first day out! I hope you enjoyed seeing these images – my children and I felt really special to be allowed to share in this process and be witness to such a special three weeks!

Not art-related, but the highlight of my day was seeing this lace monitor (aka tree goanna) laying her eggs in a termite mound. It took her two days to break open a hole and prepare the nest. The termites will close the hole and the eggs will be protected until, if all goes well, the mother returns in eight or nine months to break open another hole and let the kids out.
