SUMMARY OF THE VIDEO

“God Bless Her! … God Bless You!”
By Alice B. Clagett

PUT YOUR AUDIO ON HIGH!

At the very beginning, hear the
whispers on the Wind?
First Mountain Lion: You all will not …
Male Mountain Lion: ROAAAAR!
First Quail: God BLESS her!
Second Quail: Yep! Say, “God BLESS her!”

First Mountain Lion: … hear me at all.
Alice (repeating): God BLESS her. [x 2]
California Towhee: QUI-ET! They’re TALK-ing!
Quail (worried): God BLESS her! [x3] … combined
with this thought: The MOUN-tain [Lion]!
Alice: God BLESS you! [x 3]
Male Mountain Lion (chuckling)
to First Mountain Lion:
By the way, why should I not HEAR you?

First Mountain Lion: Because a new
Mountain Lion is right over here.
Towhee: Oh my God, No! That COVID-stricken
being does not want to be eaten by the other
Mountain Lion.
First Mountain Lion: I don’t want you to know
that another MOUN-tain Lion is there.
Male Mountain Lion: All RIGHT! I don’t KNOW you are there.
First Mountain Lion: I am a YOUNG-er Female.
Towhee [knocking sound]: Oh my GOD!
Male Mountain Lion: Yes, it IS a female!
Towhee (excitedly): He says it IS a female!

Quail: God BLESS her! [x 2]
Alice: God BLESS her! [x 2]
God BLESS EVERY-body!
Male Mountain Lion: I don’t want
this one. I will eat her all up.
Alice: Where IS he? [x2]

First Mountain LIon: I have never been so FRUS-
trated in my LIFE. I DON’T want you to EAT me!
Male Mountain Lion: She is way too thin.
Alice: This is a GOOD Bird! You look great!
Quail: God BLESS her! Alice: Yeah!
Quail: God BLESS her! [x 4]
First Mountain Lion: ALL RIGHT! So you SAW me!
Male Mountain Lion: Oh, no! She just
RAN AWAY! She ran away. Where did she go to?

I guess you can hear them [the Quails]. They’re
saying: God bless her. God bless her. God bless her.

Now I feel like blessing EVERYBODY!

God bless you all,
And keep you safe,
And be with you
Through all your days.

In love, Light and joy,
This is Alice B. Clagett.
I Am of the Stars … and so are you!
And so are the Quail, and the California Towhee,
and that yellow Butterfly!

Everybody is! God bless!

MORE INFORMATION

Yesterday I was at Sage Ranch. On the telepathic plane I was concerned to hear that a Steward of the Forest … a retired man who had been sleeping outdoors under the Oak Trees there … had been found mauled.

The story went that he had been beaten up and cut up at night, and then was found unconscious a day later. I heard that he never recovered.

There was a variant story to the effect that the man’s groin had been attacked.

At first, the story went, it was thought to be the work of Mountain Lions.

That is supported by a Mountain Lion voice I heard just now, while producing this video. The Mountain Lion bade me not tell the story about the Steward of the Forest’s death.

To continue with the story: Forensic analysis was said to reveal the tooth marks to be those of an African Lion.

From which it was thought that the man had been attacked by a savage band of men.

I asked a Deer: Who were the attacker(s)? The Deer said it was not sure, as it had not been there at the time. It said it thought it was some very bad men … not young men, but men who were a little older than that.

As to the tooth marks, if the attackers were men then they might have carried the fanged jaw bone of an African Lion so as to inflict injuries that might cast the blame on the local Mountain Lions.

On the other hand, the tooth marks might have been distorted during the attack, and the attackers might, in fact, have been local Mountain Lions.

The consensus was that the attackers were human, and that there were five bands of formidably fierce and unmitigatedly cruel men … about five men per band of men … living here and there in the wilderness areas of Sage Ranch presently.

Yesterday I was asked, on the telepathic plane, not to take one more step away from the upper parking lot at Sage Ranch. I was asked to get in my car and go away at that very minute. So I did that.

To be completely frank with you, Dear Ones, it seemed to me to be a beautiful, sunshiney, carefree day at Sage Ranch yesterday.

The awful story that showed up on the telepathic plane yesterday took me completely by surprise.

But then, as to the story in today’s video … that of the tension-filled meeting between the Male Mountain Lion and the young Female Mountain Lion …

… Well, to tell the truth, I missed out on the Mountain Lion confrontation completely while I was filming the video.

I thought the video was about some Quail, a California Towhee, a Sulphur Butterfly, and me, blessing each other.

It was not till I began editing the video this afternoon that I realized the very great drama of the Mountain Lion confrontation that had been unfolding just beyond the viewing range of my hapless camcorder.

Go figure! So, a Word to the Wise …

Just to be on the safe side, I advise each of you, my Viewers, to avoid Sage Ranch until the yay or nay of that compelling tale is sorted through and resolved.

INTRODUCTION

Dear Ones,

This is a talk with a flock of Quail, a Songbird, a Coyote, and an Unknown Speaker on El Escorpion Trail, Simi Hills, California. We are just chatting together on an autumn morning.

VIDEO BY ALICE

This video was later uploaded to youtube here … https://youtu.be/gqYjTx_vtpI ..

CONCLUSION

I got that wrong about the word ‘scalpel’, which means knife.

I was thinking ‘scapula’ or shoulder blade, but the Quail had said something entirely different.

It could be that Coyote ‘cut’ (as with a knife) into the conversation, and the Quail were afraid he would do them in, and that got me off track.

WHO WAS THAT UNKNOWN SPEAKER?

It could be the Unknown Speaker is a Rabbit, as there are several Rabbits thereabouts. If so, it would be the first time I have ever heard a Rabbit talk.

I wonder if the Unknown Speaker might have been a Nature Spirit? Can Nature Spirits by any possibility be recorded on a camcorder,  I wonder? If so, what kind of Nature Spirit could it have been? An elf?

God bless you all
And keep you safe,
And be with you
Through all your days!

In love, light and joy
This is Alice B. Clagett.

INTRODUCTION

Dear Ones,

Here is a video with fairly good proof that the “Woodpecker!” call is a Quail call and not a Woodpecker call. Oops! My bad!

Featured in the video, besides Male, Female, and Juvenile Quail are Mourning Doves and California Towhees.

There is a Summary after the video …

SUMMARY OF THE VIDEO

Oops! It’s QUAIL Which Make That ‘Woodpecker’ Sound!
By Alice B. Clagett

Hello, Dear Ones. It’s Alice. I Am of the Stars.

I found out the most embarrassing thing just now! ‘Wood HECK-er’ is what the Quail say when the coast is clear and they can come and get a drink of water without being preyed upon by the Hawks and so forth.

It’s not about the Woodpeckers. Please excuse me. I’m so very embarrassed!

Caption: A Male Quail

Songbird to other Songbirds: Look at that. They are getting a drink of water.

Caption: The ‘Woodpecker’ sound

Quail to the Quail that is making the ‘Woodpecker’ sound: Tsk, tsk, tsk, tsk! Would you stop it!

Quail: Dear me, dear me, dear me, dear me …

Caption: Male Quail (left) and Juvenile Quail (right)

Quail: Dear me.

Caption: A Mourning Dove

Quail: Dear me! Dear me, Dear me!

Another Quail: Would you STOP it! You’re really getting me  …

Caption: A Male Quail

Same Quail (continuing): … AN-gry!

Another Quail (in a soothing, shirring voice): De-e-e-ear me! …

Caption: Male Quail (left) – Mourning Dove (walking)

Same Quail (continuing): … Would you PLEASe stop it right now? …

Caption: Male Quail (front) – California Towhee (back)

Same Quail (continuing): … Would you PLEASe stop it right now? PLEASe stop it

Caption: Male Quail (front) – Two Mourning Doves (back)

[sound of an approaching airplane]

A Quail (in a rat-a-tat sound, like drops of water plopping quickly on the ground. You could also call this a chop-chop sound): I am flying.

Caption: Is this a “Look out! Look out! Look out!” sound from a Quail warning of the approaching airplane?

Quail may really be saying to the airplane: MER-cy! MER-cy! MER-cy! MER-cy!

A Quail, flying away (in a rat-a-tat sound, like drops of water plopping quickly on the ground, or like a chop-chop sound): I AM flying away.

Caption: The ‘Woodpecker’ sound

Quail: GET AWAY!

Caption: Left to right: 2 Male and 1 Female Quail

Caption: The ‘Woodpecker’ sound

Caption: Juvenile Quail (left) and Male Quail (right)

Quail: Wait! WAIT!

. . . . .

Alice to Readers: God bless you all,
And keep you safe,
And be with you
Through all your days.

In love, light and joy
This is Alice B. Clagett.
I Am of the Stars … and so are you!
