    … just imagine surviving the brutal heat we have been experiencing and whoops, you tumble out of the nest before you have fledged. Down through the branches, picking up some pine needles in your wings as you head down … wings extended and while not able to fly, you glide to a perch below the nest just a few feet above the ground … and it is late in the day, the temperature is still 102F and there is no way back to the safety of the nest. Predators are all around you … odds of survival are slim.

    This young Coopers Hawk was on the edge of the arroyo a couple hundred feet down the cart path from our home … I was having dinner and I saw a friend stop and spend time looking at something just off the cart path. When she came by the house I asked her what was there and she told me that it was a young hawk just perched and not moving. I went down there a few minutes later and this is what I saw … I called my neighbor Rachelle Jarvis who owns Bell Rock Veterinary in the Village (she is One’s Vet too) and she came over and did the rescue. She is now in new quarters and will be appropriately cared for until she is ready to fly and return to the wild … probably in a week or two.

    I think I will name her “Two” … One has approved that name!

    Into the weekend for me … have a beautiful day and enjoy the time you are here … share your joy and smile … we are alive and blessed.

    Cheers,

    Ted

    Though I know I shall sometime no more open
    my eyes to the night or the day,
     
    I am one who looks at the stars when unchained from
    the work-bench at nightfall.
     
    They are a sign that I am not ephemeral, nor you, nor
    you, whoever you are.
     
    The dawn comes and the dark and the sign sparkling
    in the brooding night forever and forever.

    The Symbolism of Jan. 6

    By Tommy Acosta
    Don’t mess with symbols. Just ask author Dan Brown’s character Robert Landon. The worth of symbols cannot be measured. Symbols make the world-go-round. Symbols carry the weight of a thousand words and meanings. Symbols represent reality boiled down to the bone. Symbols evoke profound emotions and memories—at a very primal level of our being—often without our making rational or conscious connections. They fuel our imagination. Symbols enable us to access aspects of our existence that cannot be accessed in any other way. Symbols are used in all facets of human endeavor. One can only feel sorry for those who cannot comprehend the government’s response to the breech of the capital on January 6, with many, even pundits, claiming it was only a peaceful occupation. Regardless if one sees January 6 as a full-scale riot/insurrection or simply patriotic Americans demonstrating as is their right, the fact is the individuals involved went against a symbol, and this could not be allowed or go unpunished.
