I love this poem `The Tiny Fist` too. I think I read it two dozen times. Some people have such special gifts inside. Their gifts just seem to hang in suspension like the stars. We look out and there they are. *

We have Red-Tailed Hawks that ride the currents over the bluff all day.

Well, lookie here, dat Norsky gal she is here!!


Helga's gurlfriend whose name is song
a lite hearted lass from de snow land grand!!

Looks like the snow land lass
has been skipping through the grass
alas, there is no grass there now
but fields and fields of snow

EXTRAPOLATE - Joe and I..... We were thinking about a thought we had been thinking about, but the thought you though I was thinking wasn't the thought I was thinking about. So I thought about the thought you though I was thinking. Meanwhile you had another though, I though you could have though before you though the first though that I was not thinking.Perhaps the thoughts we were thinking need more though. I think you though the though I was thinking was more though out. So much for the think a though tank.

Samwolf,

In reading your comment earlier today, I wanted to respond but had lots of company over and tomorrow busy too. I am going to post here tonight before you post morning Thread.

I remember the Hawk graphic you posted a few days ago, catching its dinner. I am so glad I am not its prey!

When you mentioned about the Red-tailed Hawk that rides the wind currents where you live, my thought was `I wonder if he is searching for food?`

The Eagles tend to rule the air space in my locale. I have never seen a Hawk here. I believe Central Alaska they are seen, maybe other areas here.

I thought about the air currents though, and wondered what these birds `the Hawks that you see` and the Ravens I study, are really doing.

The Ravens that fly back and forth, can be seen carrying food.

When they group and pair together, to fly up higher in the air on the wind currents, they appear to absolutely be playing together! I am convinced.

If I am wrong, I would welcome someone to tell me so.

There are so many pairs of them at one time drifting up then down and up, then diving down together, to just as quickly be pulled up again as if the wind has them on strings.

They pair in unison like a dance, seemingly carried totally by the air current that is in certain pocket like areas, maybe two blocks wide in length of their air space.

A choreographer would enjoy seeing this!

It is one the most fascinating events that I have ever seen. Totally entertaining. Ten to twelve pairs of jet black Ravens.

"I am trying to feed Poets here" just thought I`d sneak this in ;) `RAVENS`
la-la-la singing again ~

I did take a few minutes to do a search on the Red-tail Hawk and will try and post it here.

If you scan down to read the paragraph "Life Cycle" it speaks about the soaring of the Hawk.

You have created a monster now!

I want you to know if the Ravens are flying for hours like the Hawk soars or if they are in fact playing?

Samwolf, are you a Bird man?

Keee---yrr Keee---yrr Keee---yrr

Good Morning Bentfeather, Everyone,

Happy Sunday :-)

I love Ravens. Can I entice the Poets here to write a poem about the Raven? Anytime anyone has play time.

I`ll try and pop in tomorrow sometime and read everyones song ~

Norskie was here.... *

* I have a surprise to share,
I only need time to post it.

I will in the next day or two. I`m going to take everybody some place special. :)


*Sunday*

Blessings

You sure do put the `fun` in Funny LunaRed! I had to read this one several times, then think what I though I read, I tink I did. ;) LOL!!

Kinda gets a person all turned around!

`just as you `inDended?` Uff`da!

[Soaring Feather]

Good Sunday morning everyone.

[Soaring Feather]

LOL


Good morning, LunaRed.

I think I will have to though for a while here! Too, early for me!

[Soaring Feather]

Good morning, to you MM.

I think you are sleeping now, such a nice surprise to see the Lair activity has begun before dawn!


We do not have ravens here, but crows. Noisy critters. Some smaller cities in NY have a real crow problem.

Oh you have a surprise for the Lair, can't wait to know what it is.

Maybe Helga gets a new Long Boat! LOL
o dat Finn/Swede Helga!!

Soooo, Norskie have a good weekend. HUGS

[SAMWolf]

IMHO, the Hawks are spending most of the time just enjoying flying. When they're hunting they'll start circling a smaller area. I think they just like "riding the currents".

[SAMWolf]

Good Morning Everybody.

The Last Word of a Blue Bird



Hey! Where's my seed?

As I went out a Crow
In a low voice said, "Oh,
I was looking for you.
How do you do?
I just came to tell you
To tell Lesley (will you?)
That her little Bluebird
Wanted me to bring word
That the north wind last night
That made the stars bright
And made ice on the trough
Almost made him cough
His tail feathers off.
He just had to fly!
But he sent her Good-by,
And said to be good,
And wear her red hood,
And look for the skunk tracks
In the snow with an ax-
And do everything!
And perhaps in the spring
He would come back and sing."

Robert Frost

Good morning, Sam!



The Last Word of a Blue Bird

Awwww, love the little bird.
Really sweet poem, too.


Thanks for all. Have a great day.
