I have an update to an earlier post about the mottled white robin. I have now seen the whiteish robin on several walks in the same general area. It was gathering nesting material on Wednesday so hopefully we will continue to have the mottled robins in the neighborhood for generations. Being different and unique is a blessing...truly!
This was a terrific and constructive distraction to all the other things going on in the world and personally. Don't take that the wrong way...I'm not saying this work is merely a distraction but in this time on the planet it was a great way to shift thought away from disease, politics, and financial concerns. The Ecochallenge inspired some new thoughts on work I have done for decades and gave me pause...time to reflect spiritually and professionally. I hope to introduce the challenge to my place of work next year post-COVID and encourage others to do the same. Thanks to all the folks at Ecochallenge for providing this terrific tool!! Be safe and well! We are all related/connected!
On a hike today on private property in central Wisconsin I saw, eagles, turkeys, geese, deer, cardinals, bluebirds, and several painted turtles...so amazing to be in the sacred space of all of our animal relatives. We truly are all connected. I was humbled and reminded that each day is a gift.
Educator Stephanie Kaza advises her students to focus on what they care about most when addressing the enormity of ecological problems. Is there a specific area you feel particularly called to work on?
Today on my Earth Day walk I saw a white(almost entirely) robin!! watched it grabbing worms with it's mate for almost 15 minutes...what a wonderful surprise!! I'll have to add another line to my bird list for this one :)
So far, the challenge is going really well! I spent some time recently learning about sustainably sourced seafood. I plan to use my knowledge to make better decisions of where I choose to get my seafood from in the future.
