Dear Ones,
This video shows two fence lizards. The second lizard is regenerating its tail after something tried to catch it and eat it. The predator got only the lizard’s tail, and the lizard lived to tell us the tale!

Alice to Readers: Regenerating his tail! Somebody ate his tail … which is a good story, because now it [the Fence Lizard] is growing its tail back.
They say we Lightworkers can regenerate ourselves too.

SUMMARY OF THE VIDEO
Lizards and Birds React to Viking Throat Music
By Alice B. Clagett
Hello, Dear Ones, It’s Alice. I Am of the Stars.
There is nobody around right now, amongst the Birds. I thought I would play you an mp3 from Pixabay called “Freja” by OB-LIX.
Freja is a goddess of Norse mythology. She has under her auspices opposites such as love, battle, and death. So her domain is quite huge in the pantheon of gods.
The music I’m about to play is Viking music. The other day, Viking music attracted quite an audience amongst the birds. We’ll see what happens today.
[Music begins to play.]
Songbird: Viking music!
Alice to Readers: Guess who liked that one … Songbirds!
That’s throat music from Siberia.
[Alice sees Fence Lizard.]
Alice to Readers: Oh, Mr. Lizard likes this.That’s one Fence Lizard. The Lizard is doing push-ups.
[Alice sees a Mockingbird on the power line.]
Alice to Readers: The Mockingbird likes it.
[Alice sees Mourning Doves on the power line.]
Alice to Readers: Mourning Doves don’t like it too much.
Alice to Songbirds: Who’s that? Who is that?
[Shows Fence Lizard doing push-ups.]

[Music is turned off]
California Towhee to Alice: I like beat! Great beat!
Alice to Readers: Lizards are heads up on this. Yeah, Lizards really like that deep, low beat.
California Towhee to other Songbirds: Great beat!
Mourning Dove to California Towhee (fluting voice): I too liked that beat.
And a pair of Mockingbirds started fighting over it. And then another bird [the California Towhee] tried a dust bath. It [a different Songbird] kept saying it didn’t like it at all …
Songbird to Alice: Verrrry gooood.
Alice to Songbird: Yeah, not at all!
Songbirds talking together: Good beat! Yeah, it was a good beat.
Alice to Fence Lizard: Did you like that? What do you say?
Alice to Readers: [Talking to] Mr. Fence Lizard.
Songbird (imitating deep voice of a Fence Lizard): FENCE Lizard doesn’t speak English.
Alice to Fence Lizard: Did you like that? [Deeper voice …] Did you like that? … Well? Did you like that?
Songbird to other Songbirds: Hee hee hee hee! Trying to be a Fence Lizard!
. . . . .
{Zooms to power pole.]
Raven: Walk! Walk!
Alice to Readers: There is suddenly a commotion. Something’s up. Mr. Raven’s challenging Mr. Hawk to a contest in the sky.
Raven: Walk! Walk! Walk! [etc.]
Alice to Raven: Walk Walk Walk? [etc.]
Alice to Raven: Very low! Right! Very low voice!
Songbird to Alice: Right! He thinks he’s you!
Alice to Songbird (in her lowest possible voice): Subsonic. Subsonic.
Raven: Walk! Walk!
Alice to Raven: Walk Walk Walk.
A pair of Songbirds, one with a red head, are sitting on the power line, expectantly.

Songbird to Alice: Play some more!
Alice to Songbird: It’s all over. That’s the end of the concert. All I’ve got! I don’t think you liked it very much.
[Disappointed, Songbirds fly off.]

INTRODUCTION
Dear Ones,
Here is the fifth in the “Chaparral Wildlife Chats” series. This conversation with Fence Lizards reveals hints about the upbringing of Lizard youngsters that fly in the face of present-day Naturalist understandings.
If you cannot hear the very low frequency sounds of the Lizards talking, try listening to the tape on, say, Movie Maker (which I got free or cheap from the Microsoft Store). Try running the mp3 on Movie Maker or on a similar program at speed 1.25x or 1.50x and see if the Lizard Talk is easier to hear.
There is a Summary after the video …

SUMMARY OF THE VIDEO
Chaparral Wildlife Chats 5: Fence Lizards Have a Family Life? Naturalist Alice Is Dumbfounded!
By Alice B. Clagett
Hello, Dear Ones. It’s Alice. I Am of the Stars.
I just had a Lizard encounter, and for the first time I hear a Lizard talk in very deep, dense tones. There was a Fence Lizard here. It just went away, darn it.
Songbird (with an unusual accent): Well, I’ll be! LISTEN! LISTEN! LISTEN! See? See her? … She is talking to the Lizard person. LISTEN to her talking to her.
Alice to Fence Lizard: Where did you go? … Oh!
Alice: to Readers Doubtless you can see it. Where did it go?
Coming up now: Can you hear two Lizards speaking together? Their voices are gravelly, reedy, rhythmic like a drum beat, and very very quiet, blending in with the motor noise in the background.
Boy, is it [the Fence Lizard] well hidden! I know it’s right here, but I just can’t … it’s so hard … it’s so nicely concealed.
Father Lizard (matching tone of motorcycle in background): ROUGH me up! She can’t see us OR hear us!
Alice to Readers: Right there! … but I can’t see it.
Songbird is laughing.
Young Lizard, in a high, anxious voice, as if it is about to start crying, says simultaneously: Songbird is LAUGHing!?
Father Lizard, in a supportive voice: I know that it is laughing and I hope that you won’t be bothered by it anymore.
Alice (trying to find the hiding Fence Lizard with the camcorder zoom): So maybe here then. No …
Young Lizard says anxiously: Father, What is it laughing for?
Songbird laughs.
Father Lizard, in a slow, patient, rhythmic voice: Yes, I know that it is laughing, and I hope that you won’t be worried about that.
Young Lizard, interrupting, crying: Father, Why is it laughing at me?
Father Lizard (same soothing voice): I know it is laughing at you but I hope you won’t be upset by that.
Young Lizard: It’s always laughing at me. I don’t know why it does that. I just don’t know why it does that.
Alice: Boy, is that [Fence Lizard] well concealed. It’s amazing; truly amazing.
Young Lizard: I love my mommy and my papa.
Alice to Readers: Giant shock here! Nature study bomb shell!
Young Lizard to Father Lizard: Thank you, Father. I really will not be all upset and I hope I will be all over that thing.
Father Lizard (in a slow, rhythmic, patient voice): Thank you VERY much.
Alice (giving up on trying to find Fence Lizard with camcorder zoom): Oh well.
Alice to Readers: Anyway, I was listening to the Fence Lizards hard, because I just can’t hear Fence Lizards. I was waiting for a telepathic emanation. and I did hear one.
(On second thought, it seems to me that the Fence Lizard’s voice was very nearly below my hearing range, rather than being telepathic.)
What happened was, up on the road there, there was a sound of a truck … or maybe it was a motorcycle … trying really hard to get up the hill. It was making a deep, put-put motor sound; the driver was really pouring on the gas [pushing on the gas pedal].
It could be the motor sound helped me tune in to the very low voices of the Fence Lizards. Along the same lines, I have found that the Birds’ voices are louder when there is an airplane or auto noise in the background. I wonder why that is.
And the telepathic speak … or rather, the nearly inaudible low voice … of the Fence Lizard matched, in density of tone, the sound of that engine, I(t sounded like that, so it is almost subsonic … very close to subsonic, and matching very deep, gruff engine noises.
This small Fence Lizard was talking to the Father Fence Lizard, and I was listening … just listening completely … and in the lower part of my heart I heard … very very quietly and softly … very deep, and spoken very slowly: I really don’t know you. I really don’t know you. I really don’t know you at all.
Or maybe it was the big Fence Lizard that you are about to see that was talking?
Now you know!
Here’s another Fence Lizard.
Alice to Moter Fence Lizard: How about you? Are you ok? Was it you talking? Was it you talking?
Songbird: The RAven said the Father can HEAR HIM TALKing but he is only preTENDing heeee can’t … he can’t hear him taaaaalking to the child he has.
. . . . .
Alice to Readers: So I was just mulling over that encounter with the Lizards and the big Raven came in. The Raven said: “My heart goes out to them because they really don’t know who their parents are at all.”
And then someone else … I think it may be the Raven’s Wife … she said: “They do know them but they don’t help each other out at all.”
Maybe the Mother Raven meant that Father and Mother Lizards don’t feed their babies, but Raven parents do feed their babies.
And Father Raven said: Is that it?
And Mother Raven said: Yeah, that’s it.
. . . . .
I think I got it down correctly.
That’s all for now, Dear Ones.
In love, light and joy
