Hoy en mi ciudad el clima fue un poco diferente, se encontraba con temperaturas mas bajas, hubo lluvia la mayor parte tiempo pero no tan fuerte como para considere una tormenta, pero tambien hubo viento, el suficiente para que al salir esta tarde al patio me encontrara con un nido caído, este se precipitó desde el árbol de mango pero conservaba su forma, lo tomé solo para ver si tenía huevos dentro o si alguna pequeña ave aun se pudiera salvar, pero estaba vacío, tampoco observé a los propietarios emplumados cerca, aunque porque ya eran las 7pm supuse que estarían ya por dormir.
Aunque yo generalmente observo a las aves que anidan en el árbol de mi casa o un agujero de pared que allí se encuentra, quería estar segura a que tipo de pájaro pertenecía este nido, así que adjunté la imagen a Google Lends para tener certeza, aunque los resultados decían al principio que era muy difícil identificar al ave por su nido, también me indicó cuatro opciones de aves cuyo nido tuvieran esa forma y usarán esos materiales en Venezuela, lo cual era la ayuda que necesitaba pues determiné cual era la especie que era mas común que anidara en ese sitio, se trata de un nido de Cucarachero.
Quizá lo que en un día común fuese pasado un poco desapercibido, hoy llamó plenamente mi atención y me puso a reflexionar, pues hace ya 9 días que un doblete sísmico dejó a miles de venezolanos sin su familia y hogar, las casas cayeron al suelo como un nido de pájaro después de la lluvia, ahora todos lloramos, sentimos y lamentamos todas su perdidas tanto físicas como materiales, pero después que todo la conmoción inicial cese un poco, cada uno de esos venezolanos va a tener que reconstruir sus nidos, ahora mismo sin la certeza del lugar, los medios o el dinero para hacerlo , entonces hoy mas que nunca necesitamos la fuerza de las aves, quienes con su ejemplo nos muestran que mientras haya vida hay esperanza, aunque duela a todos hay que seguir adelante con amor y trabajo ante cualquier adversidad, no todo está perdido 💜
Today in my city the weather was a bit different. The temperatures were lower, and it rained most of the time, though not heavy enough to be considered a storm. There was also wind, enough that when I went out to the patio this afternoon, I found a fallen nest. It had fallen from the mango tree but was still intact. I picked it up to see if there were any eggs inside or if any small birds could still be saved, but it was empty. I didn't see any of the birds nearby either, although since it was already 7 pm, I assumed they were about to go to sleep.
On other occasions when this has happened, I've been able to see the broken bones inside, but not this time, so I hoped it was an abandoned nest. There was a time when a nest fell, and we saw the little bird return to the remains of its nest, gathering the materials from the old nest one by one with its beak to build a new one. This is yet another example of how nature doesn't stop, how the animal's instinct doesn't allow it to crumble in the face of loss, but rather to move forward with all its effort and drive to rebuild its nest.
Although I usually observe the birds that nest in the tree in my yard or in a hole in the wall there, I wanted to be sure what kind of bird this nest belonged to, so I uploaded the image to Google Lens to be certain. Although the results initially said it was very difficult to identify the bird by its nest, it also suggested four birds in Venezuela whose nests have that shape and use those materials, which was the help I needed. I then determined which species was most common in that location: a Wren's nest.
What might have gone unnoticed on an ordinary day, today fully captured my attention and made me reflect. It's been nine days since a double earthquake left thousands of Venezuelans without their families and homes. Houses collapsed like birds' nests after the rain. Now we all weep, feel, and lament all their losses, both physical and material. But after the initial shock subsides, each of those Venezuelans will have to rebuild their nests, right now without knowing where, how, or how much money they need. So today, more than ever, we need the strength of the birds, who, through their example, show us that while there is life, there is hope. Even though it hurts, we must move forward with love and hard work in the face of any adversity. Not all is lost 💜
