#HaikuADay #HaikuHive

Today‘s haiku is inspired by the spotted dove cooing & singing this morning. (I borrowed this picture). Not native to Hawaii, the spotted dove was introduced from Asia in the 1800s.

Morning Sounds

The spotted dove coos
A soft plaintive melody
Outside my window

Mourning dove update:

This is a still from our makeshift nestcam. The one on the gate is one of the babies, who flew down to perch and was joined by a parent briefly before parent flew to the nest. Then the other baby flew down to the gate but kept landing on its sibling, so they both flew up to the parent in the nest for second breakfast.

Quite exciting times at our gate! I think this means they're more teens than babies, though.

Eggbeater Aww. Your beautiful bird family is growing up. 🥰 I love that picture. 2mo
Clare-Dragonfly You have to wonder if the second baby had bad aim or was just trying to annoy its sibling 😂 2mo

Here‘s my review for a book from the #naturalitsy buddy read list. This was the February book for the buddy read.

Here‘s what I‘m #currentlyreading.

Sherlock Holmes: I‘m caught up on the #noplacelikeholmes buddy read.
Broken Play: This is an ARC I signed up to read coming out June 5. It‘s good but I need to make more progress in it.
Ten Birds That Changed The World: This was the February book for #naturalitsy.
Royal Assassin: I just started listening to this book for #realmofelderlings. I only listened to the prologue but it‘s good.

1. I recently purchased the tagged book in April on Kindle. It was a $2.99 Kindle deal so I bought it. I‘m looking forward to reading it and learning about all of the different owls that are out there. Recently, I watched a nature show called The Americas that was narrated by Tom Hanks and it showed burrowing owls. I like them. They‘re so cute.

2. Yeah. I use Goodreads, Storygraph, Instagram, Fable, Storylace and Litsy.

Hello to everyone participating in the #naturalitsy buddy read, this ebook is available on Amazon for $2.99 right now. I had it on my Amazon wish list so I bought it. If you‘re interested in learning about owls or like birds like I do then this would be a good book to read.

Pickpick

Just an all around good time, full of amazing facts. Ackerman speaks well, with both empathy and an even-keeled understanding of how harsh nature can be. It's refreshing to hear not just the acknowledgement that the flaw in many studies may be the way humans choose to perceive and judge things based on our limited perspective, 1/?

Robotswithpersonality 2/? but how historically, a more patriarchal view among a largely male scientist base may have biased reports of or dismissals of female bird behavior.
The author is also ready and eager to point out when conclusions are preliminary/under supported by existing evidence. The idea of always asking more questions, realizing that answers may be more complex than first thought, it feels necessary to any non-fiction/science-based work.

Robotswithpersonality 3/3 The audiobook is a great listen.
