Mallard's do return to their nest





The March 15th, 2009 return to the nest, of the Mallard Duck.

Mallard's do return to their nest.

I observed four deep bright yellow eggs in 2008.

This year, today April 10th, Good Friday, 2009, the 11 eggs
are starting to open.

I saw one of the duck chicks next to a roosting mother hen waiting
for the next arrivals, to crack open into this world.

Praise God [IHVH] for the miracle of life.

I hope she survives the next year, to return to her safe haven
in 2010.



Toooooooooo cute !



Great news, when Mrs. Mallard left her hatching nest,
Saturday 4-11-2009, with her 11 Mallard ducklings, I was sure
she went to the wilderness area water line.

However, she did not.

She is now in a hiding place close to a commercial business park,
inside shrub's which the rabbit's have excavated very good
holes at the shrub roots.

All 11 duckling's sighted with mother.

Per the following duck news, ' Ducklings are able to fly within 5 - 8 weeks '.

So count from April 11th, 2009, 8 weeks would be between May 16th through June 13th, 2009.

Duck Life Span

Ducks can live from 2 - 20 years, depending on species and whether they are wild ducks or ducks in captivity. Its a fact that a wild duck can live 20 years or more. Domestic ducks typically live 10 - 15 years in captivity. The world record is a Mallard Drake that lived to a ripe old age of 27 years.



The eggs will hatch within 28 days normally, except for the Muscovy duck which takes about 35 days to hatch.The mother duck will keep her brood of ducklings together to protect them from predators. Animals like the racoon, turtles, hawks, large fish and snakes are a ducks main predators and they will eat the ducklings. Ducklings are able to fly within 5 - 8 weeks. Their feathers develop very fast.

American Flag with Bird Cedar Waxwyng










TITLE : American Flag with Bird Cedar Waxwyng


April 3rd, 2009, Friday, @10:30 a.m. I was viewing surveillance monitor's when I observed 2 birds on the screen. Interesting, that a 20 year bird Autobahn member, confirmed the birds on the screen were called, ' Cedar Waxwyng', species. If this expert had not been involved, I would never have made the classification of the 2 birds.

A couple of minutes before the 2 birds landed on the front right tree, next to the flag pole area, I had a message I drew out on paper as follows :

I drew a diagram of the American flag, with the blue canton ( any quarter of a flag ) that contains the 50 stars, to the right.

The protocol of flag presentation requires the canton to be in the left quarter, flying position.The only time the canton with stars appears to the right quarter side of the American flag,is during vehicle driving, due to rear view mirror optical appearance. And if you are standing behind the flag being displayed.


I wrote under this flag diagram on the paper, the following information :

"Flag Flying backward, First up pole ; last down by sundown"

Cedar Waxwing - Bombycilla cedrorum

````````````````````````````````````````


excerpt
http://www.nhptv.org/Natureworks/CedarWaxwing.htm

The cedar waxwing is brown on top and pale yellow on its belly. It has a crest of feathers on its head and a black mask lined with white on its face. The cedar waxwing has black legs and feet and a short black bill. It has darker gray wings with a short waxy red tip. Its tail has a yellow tip. Some cedar waxwings in the Northeast United States and Southeast Canada will have an orange tip on their tails. This is caused by their having eaten the berries of an introduced species of honeysuckle, Morrow's honeysuckle, while their tail feathers were growing. Male and female cedar waxwings look alike.

Cedar waxwings are very social birds. They are non-territorial and will often groom each other. They travel in flocks of 40 or more birds. They often will appear in a spot with a good crop of berries. When they have eaten all the berries, they move on!







. . . . Immediately, upon my completion of the flag diagram and the statement description, the 2 Cedar Waxwyng's landed in the tree to the right, flag pole area.

As I researched the connection between the American Flag's canton, 50 stars
reversed to the right, how it paralleled to the bird, `Cedar Waxwyng', I began to
understand the connection.

The connection is involved in the symbolic 13 horizontal stripes, which are always
red first then white, repeated.

``````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````


The canton quarter of the flag as of 2009, contains 50 white stars on a blue
field. The stripes are rays of sunlight. The stars are the heavens. The 13 stripes
and the 50 stars represent the highest place that a person could aim to reach.

The Cedar Waxwyng's the next day, Saturday, April 4th, 2009 @09:44 a.m.
returned to the same right sided flag pole area, with a `flock` of birds, on the
same tree.

Interesting, the birds selected two consecutive days, to land on the same
tree, at a timeframe I was viewing the surveillance monitor. With a total
of 36 camera's, covering a 200,000 square foot property, the odds and
chance seem indeed out of the ordinary. Monitor 2, camera number 10
is the flag pole view.

I evaluated the characteristics of the bird species, called `Cedar Waxwyng`.
I then knew why I had my nose pointed toward this parallel message
of a reversed canton flag and these bird sightings.

The unique ' yellow ' breast of these birds, with black Egyptian eyes, are
brilliant contrast colors. As a nature observer, I love birds and have
experienced many spiritual messages from childhood to adult life, related
to birds.

The Cedar Waxwyng, are prolific seed distribution helpers in nature. They
love Cherry and Mulberry Trees.

The reason I wrote, 'Flag Flying backward', was regarding the Original 13
American Colonies geography, toward the eastern (right) side of the
American map.

The right sided canton with 50 stars is reversed, due to our American
heritage of 13 red and white stripes, representing the 13 Original American
Colonies, as archetypal political reversals.


```````````
REVERSALS

```````````

Have we not reversed in America, the foundation principles of
the right sided east, to become the left sided west in covenants
of Constitutional priorities ?

How have the Original 13 American Colonies of the east (right),
become reversed, due to the expansion of additional stars
of the canton of the flag, as America increased territorial States ?

Why would the flag always represent 13 red and white
`unchanging`, stripes ?

Because the stripes are supposed to be rays of sunlight. The
`unchanging` principles of the core foundations of America, are
now distorted and appear reversed and out-of-order.

And the concept of religious freedom to represent the highest
place that a person could aim to reach, also appears as an
optical illusion in a mirror reversal, of the original orderly boundaries.

Just like a flag has canton quarterly boundaries, our American
religious freedoms held Constitutional laws and lines of demarcation.


`````````````
CONCLUSION

`````````````

I conclude with the Cedar Waxwyng bird, teaching us in nature to
disperse seeds of political nourishment. As American's organize
in groups to accomplish civic goals, to fly in a `flock` is to increase
our seed distribution with safety in numbers. And remember as
we view our American flag, may it fly in orderly fashion and may
we as Cedar Waxwyng's view from the tree tops the heavenly
divine order set, among chaos.

Our Father in heaven, is watching . . .



This is the scripture the Holy Spirit presented, to conclude :

```````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````
A lesson about King Josiah, who died at the plain of Megiddo
(where the battle of Armageddon will be fought) . . . King Josiah
was assured he would die, before the Fall of Jerusalem in a
prophecy given to him.

```````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````

2 Chronicles 34:22-28

22And Hilkiah, and they that the king had appointed, went to Huldah the prophetess, the wife of Shallum the son of Tikvath, the son of Hasrah, keeper of the wardrobe; (now she dwelt in Jerusalem in the college:) and they spake to her to that effect.

23And she answered them, Thus saith the LORD God of Israel, Tell ye the man that sent you to me,

24Thus saith the LORD, Behold, I will bring evil upon this place, and upon the inhabitants thereof, even all the curses that are written in the book which they have read before the king of Judah:

25Because they have forsaken me, and have burned incense unto other gods, that they might provoke me to anger with all the works of their hands; therefore my wrath shall be poured out upon this place, and shall not be quenched.

26And as for the king of Judah, who sent you to enquire of the LORD, so shall ye say unto him, Thus saith the LORD God of Israel concerning the words which thou hast heard;

27Because thine heart was tender, and thou didst humble thyself before God, when thou heardest his words against this place, and against the inhabitants thereof, and humbledst thyself before me, and didst rend thy clothes, and weep before me; I have even heard thee also, saith the LORD.

28Behold, I will gather thee to thy fathers, and thou shalt be gathered to thy grave in peace, neither shall thine eyes see all the evil that I will bring upon this place, and upon the inhabitants of the same. So they brought the king word again.
