8 March 2024 - Friday Field Notes
VIBs (Very Important Birds) - Juvenile Red-tailed Hawk, Western Meadow Lark, taxidermied Great Horned Owl. It's that time of year again when strange things start appearing in my car...
Things on the prairie are very slowly starting to wake up. Got the chance to spend a good chunk of time out of the field this week and not at my desk. Which is my favorite part of the day job. Got to do a bird count earlier in the week and explored for three hours along the creek with a couple of coworkers yesterday to scout for spots to put game cameras. Saw four Northern Harrier Hawks, the Bald Eagles, heard all the Western Meadowlarks, Pronghorn, Prairie Dogs, spiders, one lone grasshopper, and spooked a Coyote out of the Coyote Willow. Also met a couple of new plants too.
I found many treasures; I know what a Willow Pinecone Gall Midge is now, American Licorice reminds me of little Korok maracas, Pronghorn bones, a lovely pink rock. Trying to see if I can actually nature journal more regularly this year too and I've got a couple pages in already!
I'm ready for spring. I've got too many wild gardening schemes.

N nodded and focused on the thrumming and pulling of Bisharp’s energy. It was hurt. It was tired. It felt lost.
He didn’t dare reach out to it- not when it had blades as sharp as those- but he tried to tell it he was going to help it.
The Bisharp did not want to hear him. It reeled back to attack him, its blades glinting in the afternoon sun.
Chapter 7 of Unova Under Siege: N’s First Mission- A Success…And A Failure, has been posted!

Merthur shenanigans after Arthur returned pt.2
*at the zoo*
Arthur: What are they in for?
Merlin: Arthur, this isn't a prison
Arthur: so they can leave?
Merlin: No, but-
Arthur: *points at a Meerkat* I bet that one murdered someone

call me a crazy shipper but I really think that if you read between the lines it seems that Nicodemus favors Harry.
It's not a kind thing, it's not a safe thing but he does and a number of events would have turned out very differently if he didn't.
(my actual theory is that he does it because Harry is a Starborn not because of whimsical shippy reasons lol but this leads to some hilarious results and I find it really compelling)

THEIR DISCORDANT CRIES FILL HIS HEAD, and it’s all he can hear; a cacophony of torment, grating against his skull. their screams reach into his soul, and sink their claws into whatever remains. they want every last piece of him, to leave nothing left. he shall be desolate in their wake, an empty husk devoid of meaning and feeling--- or perhaps they already have. he can’t tell anymore. this place... this accursed place... it knows of his past, and it has turned it into a weapon. the memories are clearer than ever before, as though he were living in them again.
areadbhar clatters to the ground as he drops to his knees in the dirt, the heavy clang of steel murmuring as it meets with the earth. looking upon his quivering and blood-stained palms, dimitri buries his face in his hands--- even in the darkness behind them, he sees them there, burning.
you promised us blood, their whispers demand, why haven’t you fulfilled your oath to us...?
❝ no--- ❞ he utters aloud, seething between clenched teeth, ❝ i have not forgotten my promise--- please, forgive me...! ❞
when he dares open his eye, peeking between his fingers, his father’s corpse stares back. his breath hitches--- before he roars in agony, his wordless pleas spilling into the mistwood. when he stands, he reclaims his lance, and as though guided purely by instinct, the beast slashes wildly at the tree in front of him. every blow gouges deeply into its bark, punctuated by his frenzied whimpers, as the faces of his enemies take shape before him, taunting him.
❝ hh---! ❞
i will cut you down, his thoughts bare their fangs, i will cut you all down...!
