Aptrill Day 25: Augur Buzzard.

[the-named-anon]

African red-tailed hawks are also called Augur buzzards… I thought buzzard was another term for a vulture. It’s close, just a different bird of prey.

I was so confused though!! I saw a thing that said that they’re where I live and when I looked up “Augur buzzard” it only showed up with results for Africa. I was so confused 😔😔

Hi there! Do you have any ISTP daemon form recommendations? Looking for my Dad, he's a ISTP 8 with strong 5 tendencies. Think he would most likely be a bird of some kind. Thanks.

sorry for the delay on this, was finishing up the quiz! :)

ISTP 8 with 5 leanings makes me think of a hawk or buzzard species. ISTP's dominant function Ti exemplifies hawk behavior to me: withdrawn, observant, and precise. they process internally, coming off as quiet and critiquing until they're ready to move. they don't waste time or beat around the bush; i wouldn't call them adaptable in the moment, but they're highly flexible people in how they take in facts and adjust their behavior. they move forward. ISTPs are very often enneagram 5s or have it in their tritype, so it makes sense that your dad might relate to a 5's tendency to be reserved and insightful, and their desire to be productive and accurate.

an ISTP 8, however, is an incredibly powerful personality. they're hardworking and goal-oriented, self-sufficient and adamant, and resourceful and clever. this coincides with a lot of buteonine hawk/buzzard behavior. they are largely independent, quiet birds, and they are of course known for their precision hunting: hawks engage in a variety of hunting strategies, such as soaring versus perch hunting, though are much more exact than accipiter hawks who will doggedly pursue prey. the intensity of the 8 really shines through in hawks as well. i think it makes sense that enneagram 8s are often apex predator daemons; beyond interpretation of the behavior, i think the daemon's presence (as might be considered with pullman forms) is also an interesting element to add to daemon form finding. both the bengal tiger and praying mantis are ferocious predators in their ecological niche, but one would definitely make more of an impact if you saw them in a room.

anyway back to hawks! in a previous form finding post, i'd listed some common hawk forms to start with:

- the zone-tailed hawk (stoic, logical, adaptable, focused, highly loyal, competitive, controlling, perfectionistic, capable of being manipulative, opportunistic) - red-tailed hawk (confident, very assertive and argumentative, proud, expressive, stubborn, competitive, efficient, like consistency, but can be adaptable, selectively cooperative) - galapagos hawk (very socially tolerant, devoted, loyal, protective, cooperative, specialized, confident and bold, but generally more peace-seeking) - swainson's hawk (socially tolerant and highly cooperative, less perfectionistic and much more adaptable, generalists, productive, protective and assertive, efficient) - rough-legged buzzard (socially tolerant, habitual, boundary-keeping and assertive, willing to be cooperative, can be manipulative, expressive, confident, perfectionistic)

out of these, the zone-tailed hawk seems the most ISTP 8 to me, but i think there's also quite a few other species if that one doesn't seem quite right.

more expressive the augur buzzard displays many of the same characteristics: they're fairly flexible and opportunistic, comfortable in a variety of situations, and highly efficient and confident. it's definitely going to be a more expressive option; these people are bold and self-assured, very distinct personalities who are proud of their station.

less adaptable there are quite a few buteo species that are less adaptable and prefer to find a niche they dominate. the madagascar buzzard and 'io (hawaiian hawk) of madagascar and hawaii respectively are examples. the 'io in particular is a really magnificent symbol of hawaiian royalty, as it's a very specialized and devoted to its territory. the short-tailed hawk is another option, as they tend to be incredibly meticulous but also pretty routine people.

less perfectionistic the jackal buzzard i have to mention because i think they're a delightful daemon form. they get their name from their particular behavior: they're scavengers, though more patient and specialized than a vulture. they also are pretty enduring, tolerant, and persevering. these people tend to be a little more scrappy for lack of a better word; they succeed through being opportunistic, and they know how make lemons into lemonade.

outside of buteonines, i'd consider some species of owl if your dad is more of an 8w9 and the hawk seems too bold for him. on a whole i tend to view owls as the istj to the hawk's istp; however, horned owls or eagle owls i think are definitely the best fit. eagle owls are patient and efficient hunters, perceptive of their surroundings and capable of adjusting their behavior to reach the most successful outcome. they're ambitious people who aren't afraid to assert themselves if necessary, but they're more stressed by conflict and demonstrate their enneagram 8 by engaging in solitude and not opening up to others. the horned owl is an edge more assertive and competitive, perhaps in the middle of the eagle-owl and hawk forms, very logical but willing to be adaptable and bold. and finally the nightjar is maybe an option... they're independent and competitive, though they tend to be more sensitive and self-doubting much more like an enneagram 5 than an 8.

hope this helps! :)

Unit 05: Nature Interpretation through Science

This week we looked at how science plays a role in nature interpretation. Given the open-ended nature of the unit 5 blogpost, I figured I would elaborate on some topics the bird TED talk from Washington Wachira inspired me to think more deeply about.

In the talk, Wachira emphasizes the importance of simplifying science for audiences not familiar such that the need for environmental conservation is conveyed. In his case, the TED talk provided the audience with plenty of facts about different birds, and the speaker then used the interest he built in the audience to shine light on risk factors for different avian species around the world. Scientific concepts can often be daunting when presented to audiences without experience in the field. If one is able to gain an understanding of their audience however, they can effectively convey their points. Knowledge of one’s audience is also important when interpreting nature, so it makes sense that fitting the material to the needs of the viewer is so crucial when using these scientific concepts in the interpretation itself.

Another key subject Wachira touched on were his childhood memories of caring for and observing an augur buzzard, which created a deep interest in birds he still keeps today. Last semester, I was tasked with caring for a population of brown and white-lipped snails for a group animal behaviour assignment. Like Wachira, interacting with a species I was unfamiliar with deepened my interest in them considerably, and I will probably never look at garden snails out in my backyard in the same dismissive light I used to ever again. When I used to think of snails, I thought of the little shells out on the sidewalk whenever it rains, but in caring for them for a semester, I was able to observe them much more closely and appreciate the nuances of how they live more than ever before. Below is a photo of a few of the snails in their enclosure. We fed them every few days and misted their tank with distilled water once or twice a day.

One of the most interesting things about keeping this tank of snails wasn’t how my interest in them shifted but was instead how I was able to get guests asking questions about them. Whenever we would have parties or get togethers last semester, I would always find myself at the snail tank answering questions from friends who are less familiar with them. In hindsight, I was definitely carrying out some form of nature interpretation, providing watered-down scientific facts alongside my opinions on why snails are so cool.

As nature interpreters, we can use science to convey the value of different species or environments to less knowledgeable audiences. In my case, it was with snails, and it was with birds for Wachira, but the point remains. By gaining better scientific understandings of different components of nature, we are able to better convey their value to an audience if presented correctly.

I look forward to reading everyone’s posts this week!
