Shapeshifter Eagle

Dream:
A friend of mine (a guy) and his friend (also a guy, but seemingly younger/smaller) tell me about how they’ve found an apartment. They’re staying in a house for five, with four rooms. They sound very excited about it. Really my friend speaks for both of them.
Later, I am away, as in a vacation. I [...]

Eagle Trips

Dream:
I am talking to a coworker and hoping she will tell me stories about eagles. I am leaning on something in her direction.  Just  as an eagle flies into the scene, his golden feet trip on a telephone wire. This strikes me as odd, and I am a little disappointed.  I don’t get to hear [...]

Screech

I go on a trek looking for Barred Owl. My sister in law has seen one. She tells me there’s one living in the carousel down by Oaks Bottom. She says there are two screech owls 1/4 mile down a trail, in a huge rotted out tree. I don’t know the trail. I go to [...]

Herky?

Dream: Pleasant conversation with a cartoon like version of the (crowish) bald eagle from my dream the other night.
I don’t remember the conversation right now, but it seemed jovial enough. The bird was small and squat and had the darkened coloring (dark goldish head) of the crowy eagle when the light first changed enough for [...]

Going Strange Places, Asking for Help

Waking Dream: Yesterday afternoon, sitting on the couch, talking to Kevin about Anandi Ma stuff and about using mantras with animals. Then a female gold finch flying straight in my direction smashes into the window and dies on our fire escape. Sadness. We did what we could for the bird, prayed and found it a [...]

Kisses

I’ve been dreaming but, I haven’t had internet for the last week or so things have been very slow. Yesterday I went on a long walk down at Oaks Bottom, special marshy place. Got to see lots of a awesome bird action. Hawks and an eagle, sitting rather far away, so not sure if [...]

Already There

Dream: I arrive in Portland, at my brother’s house. I go in and sit next to him on the couch for a bit. He is a little bit frowny, but that’s not unusual. I go peek out the window across from us. It is an awesome view (mostly of nature). I go outside and across [...]

Walking and Watching

Walking to work yesterday and saw a beautiful hawk yesterday on my way to work. I had been thinking about bussing it, but after I saw the hawk I didn’t want to miss any other possible sitings. It was all white underneath and when it landed I saw that he had a bright rusty colored [...]

India, pt 1–BIRDS

I just got back from India, still a bit jet-lagged, but I wanted to start writing about some of my experiences. Bird info to start off.
On the way to the airport:
As we were starting out on our drive from Iowa City to the Des Moines airport (about a 2 hour drive), just before we get [...]

Walking

Well, in efforts to reduce gas dependence and save some cash, we sold our car–on the first cold day in November! After a month of 60’s that should have been 20’s, walking around in the windy teens was quite a shock. It’s gotten a little more mild, and I’m a little tougher and now I [...]
