    … so, we rescued this little lady Wednesday evening; Wednesday evening she was hydrated and checked out … Thursday, more hydration and six baby mice … Thursday evening, about 22 hours after we first got her, Rachelle and Evan placed her on a branch about 20′ above the ground near the nesting tree and mom saw us put her back up there. I stayed on the back deck for a couple of hours to make sure all was well. About an hour after she was placed up in the tree, I saw her glide down to the ground near the cart path and then she got up into another tree/bush about six feet above the ground. It was dark and I hoped she would be well.

    This evening, One and I were enjoying the drop in temperature after the sun went behind House Mountain. I saw some fluttering high in a pine tree and the bird appeared to have a white head. I grabbed the camera and headed down that way and sure enough it was Two up in the branches about 50′ above the ground and she seemed to be eating insects or something off of the bark. She was very mobile, hopping and kinda flying between branches and trees. This kid is gonna make it! And only being gone from her territory for 22 hours she is not imprinted (dependent on humans). The hydration and food helped a lot and she was very active when we got her back in the trees. After another day around 106 degrees she is even more active and mom is there helping provide for her needs and far better than we as humans can do.

    Thanks to Rachelle Jarvis, DVM at Bell Rock Veterinary and to Michele Losee, PhD at International Raptor & Falconry Center. This young Coopers Hawk has a terrific chance of making it because of them.

    Have a beautiful weekend … we are alive … celebrate it and smile.

    You are a child of the universe no less than
    the trees and the stars; you have a right to be
    here. And whether or not it is clear to you, no
    doubt the universe is unfolding as it should.
    Therefore be at peace with God, whatever you
    conceive Him to be. And whatever your labors
    and aspirations, in the noisy confusion of life, keep
    peace in your soul. With all its sham, drudgery
    and broken dreams, it is still a beautiful world. Be
    cheerful. Strive to be happy.

    A Bad Moon Rising

    By Tommy Acosta
    What the hell is going on? Is the fabric of society in the U.S. tearing apart at the seams? Watching those videos of teens gone wild, smashing windows, stealing from shopping centers, laughing while running over bicyclists — an omen of things to come? What can be done? Catch them? Incarcerate them. Put them in jails until they learn enough about crime to come out as skilled criminals? These kids, these young men and women of color, are growing wild in the streets. From fatherless homes, unable to properly read or write, a dismal and destitute future ahead of them. What is going to happen when they reach adulthood? The cops can’t stop them. There are simply too many. They can flash mob a phalanx of cops and just run berserk around them. What are the police to do? Shoot them? Read more→
