![]() The native people of Michigan call these birds “jack pine bird” and “jack pine warbler”. The Kirtland’s Warblers are named after the doctor and amateur naturalist, John Jared Kirtland. The population of these warblers is decreasingly consistently due to the loss of habitat.īody length – 14-15 centimeters (5.5-5.9 inches) While their scientific name begins with “vermivora”, meaning “worm-eating”, their diet ironically consists of more insects than worms. The Blue-winged Warblers are closely related to the Golden-winged Warblers, although they resemble the Prothonotary Warblers in appearance. These little birds are more of a hopper than a flyer and prefer to walk on the ground more often.īody length – 11.5 centimeters (4.5 inches) They are small birds with olive upperparts, dull yellow underparts, and a broken, white eye-ring. The MacGillivray’s Warblers were named in honor of William MacGillivray, a Scottish naturalist, and ornithologist, by John James Audubon. ![]() Although they are omnivores, they prefer insects to fruits and employ several creative techniques to catch them.īody length – 13 centimeters (5.1 inches) These streaks are not prominent in their female counterparts. The Canada Warblers are also referred to as the “necklace warbler” due to the band of black streaks that appear around their yellow breast. These birds are found in the eastern United States during their breeding season and move to Central America, southern Mexico, and the Caribbean during winter.īody length – 12-15 centimeters (4.7-5.9 inches) They have a yellow body with several black stripes on the top of their head. True to their names, the Worm-eating Warblers prefer caterpillars over the other insects. Oddly enough, the male Connecticut Warblers defend their nesting territory by singing.īody length – 11.4 centimeters (4.5 inches) Unlike most birds who migrate in winters, these small warblers migrate around the departure of spring and the arrival of fall. The Connecticut Warblers are one of the secretive warbler species who make their nests in the dense trees to stay hidden and often walk on the forest grounds to forage. They breed in North America and migrate to Central America and West Indies in the winters.īody length – 13-15 centimeters (5.1-5.9 inches) However, in the females, the hood is paler and less prominent some lack it altogether. The male Hooded Warblers have a distinctive black hood on their yellow bodies. However, while singing, they prefer a certain height. These birds love to stay on or close to the ground most of the time, where they forage. The Kentucky Warblers are small, stout birds with a short tail and a prominent black streak around their cheeks. These birds prefer to make their nests in the lower branches of willow or alder trees, which is why they are also called “thicket warblers”. The males have a jet-black cap, that distinguishes them from the females. They have a yellow face and underparts, with olive-green wings and back. The Wilson’s Warblers are small birds with a thin tail who are always in motion. These birds stay in the Pacific Northwest deciduous forests in the summers, while in winter they migrate to different regions.īody length – 10-12 centimeters (3.9-4.7 inches) They build their nests on the upper parts of the coniferous trees. The males can be distinguished from the females due to their prominent black cap, which the females and their younger ones lack. The Townsend’s Warblers have a yellow body with distinct black stripes all over it. The largest species of these birds, the Sordida, are only found in the Channel Islands of California. They breed in deciduous shrubs and look for low vegetation during migration. While their wings and upper body is olive green, the underparts are yellow. ![]() The Orange-crowned Warblers are small songbirds who have bills sharper than any other warbler. ![]()

![]() ![]() John Henry makes a prediction to the Captain that is common throughout the numerous narratives:īefore I’d let that steam drill beat me down, He and the Captain wager on whether or not John Henry can beat the steam drill by pounding a larger hole into the mountain. The most important besides John Henry appears to be the Captain, his boss. There is a core set of characters that show up in the various versions of John Henry songs. The make-up of the story is four-fold: (1)a prophecy as a child that John Henry would die with his hammer in his hand (2)the events leading up to the contest (3)the contest and the death of John Henry (4)his wife’s reaction to his death. In Bruce Springsteen’s album “We Shall Overcome: The Seeger Sessions,” he covers the song in the style of Pete Seeger. The last words I heard that poor boy say, You could hold him in the palm of your hand. John Henry took sick and went to his bed. ![]() Lord, Lord.īut he worked so hard, he broke his poor heart. I’m throwin’ thirty pounds from my hips on down. ![]() Gonna whop that steel on down, down, down.īut before I let your steam drill beat me down, Gonna bring that steam drill out on the job. Said, “Hammer’s gonna be the death of me, Lord, Lord. He picked up a hammer and a little piece of steel I am posting below a version that Pete Seeger sang as it includes many of the elements common to most versions, while not dragging on too long: Each version adds new pieces to the puzzle, adds fresh nuances to the story, while also bringing contradictions. 4 But there are numerous versions of John Henry songs including folk ballads, chain gang, construction crew, and bluegrass. The song originated in the late 1800’s, and traditionally the songs were either ballads or hammer songs (work songs used by laborers or prisoners to make their work more efficient and break the monotony). Told not only as a folk tale but also in song, the account has stretched its vines in so many directions that it is hard to tackle the subject. While facts are debatable, the legend is unstoppable. Each year in September the Leeds Folk Festival is held to commemorate John Henry and the contest that supposedly took place in that area. Another possible location is Leeds, Alabama at the Coosa Mountain Tunnel or the Oak Mountain Tunnel of the Columbus & Western Railway. There are no records of a steam hammer being used at Big Bend in West Virginia, so some say it took place 40 miles away at Lewis Tunnel in Virginia. But as the story goes, John Henry stood out as the man that competed with the newly invented steam hammer, a machine that could do the work of these valuable men-a machine that would eventually drive them out of their needed employment.īe aware that there are conflicting accounts as to where this competition took place. It is believed that John Henry worked for the C&O railroad during the Reconstruction Period, and at one point they ran up upon Big Bend Mountain, a rock over a mile wide that had to be conquered by drilling through its heart. It was terribly hard work and many died from exhaustion or silicosis due to the constant exposure to dust. Steel drivers used their hammers to drive spikes or drills into mountains to create passes for the railroads. He was said to be a freed slave that worked as a steel driver. So who was John Henry really? He was described as a towering 6 foot tall, 200 pound strong black man, born in the mid 1800’s probably in North Carolina or Virginia. The name and steel-driving solitude stay the same.” 1 From verse-to-verse, generation-to-generation, the storyĬhanges to suit the singer. He’s a hero to Woody Guthrie, a warning to Mississippi John Hurt, an inspiration to the chain gang. Geoff Edgers said in his Analysis of John Henry Music, “John Henry, as ultimate working-class hero, has been embraced by disparate groups: black prisoners, white mountain musicians, college folk revivalists, elderly blues singers…The connector is this valiant battle, man against machine, man against boss, man against the power structure that keeps his people (African-Americans? Laborers?) in chains. Whether he was a true historical figure or a fictitious hero carved into the minds of common Americans by oral tradition, his story has given inspiration to generations. One of the most colorful characters in American folklore is the legendary John Henry. ![]() ![]()

There are many free patterns on for the Mandala family of yarns. This is a CYC3 (Light) yarn, but since the pattern is a blankie the final size isn’t crucial, which means using the same stitch count in Mandala® Ombre (a CYC4/Medium weight) will work just fine. The pattern was written for Mandala® Baby in the “Far Far Away” color. The pattern I’m following is the Shaded Ripple Baby Afghan. In the swatches shown here you can see I’m working two rows of Tranquil followed by two rows of Mantra. I took the same idea of alternating between two striping yarns, but went in another direction. I will actually be going over Ferris Wheel yarn combinations for this design in an upcoming post! It has the same type of color changes as Noro while being soft and machine wash/dry. If you want to make your own Noro Striped Scarf you can try using Ferris Wheel yarn for the project. And based on the fact this pattern has over 15,000 projects on Ravelry, I think knitters agree. The many variations of the Noro Striped Scarf by Jared Flood is a great example of this. You can take related colors like I have done with Mantra and Tranquil, or completely contrasting options and it will still work. Pairing together this type of self striping yarn is actually very easy, especially if you alternate rows/rounds of each color. You end up with what looks like a complex flow of color changes, but it’s not complicated at all! My favorite way to do this is by alternating between two colors. These are yarns that you can simply get stitching with, let it do all the color play, and end up with beautiful colorful results. Now there are several variations of the original Mandala® such as Mandala® Baby, Mandala® Sparkle, Mandala Thick & Quick, Mandala® Tweed, and the newest addition, Mandala® Ombre (featured in this post).

Machine wash yes Attributes Color: Self-striping Ombres Content: 100 Acrylic Weight Category: 6 Ombres Weight: 5. You see, finding a pattern is half the battle.

On the most basic level, powdered rose quartz can gently exfoliate the skin while jade rollers are cool to the touch, helping to eradicate puffiness and redness. Known as the Piezoelectric effect, it's the reason crystals are used in computers, TV screens, iPhones, and satellites today.Ĭrystals offer benefits in skincare too. In 1880, French physicist Pierre Curie discovered that putting pressure on crystals such as quartz, topaz, and tourmaline, created electricity. While the effect of these vibrations on our minds and bodies can’t exactly be proven by science, some crystals have been shown to conduct energy. Emma says: “Think of crystals as harnessing their own special properties, which can resonate with your vibe to change or heighten your mood.” What does the science say about crystals? ![]() This can be energizing or calming to heal and realign our energy.”Ĭonsequently, it’s thought that a crystal’s high vibrations could raise our low ‘vibe’ when we feel emotionally down or sluggish. Each crystal, which has been formed over millions of years, emits its own vibrations. Every person, every object is vibrating at different frequencies. ![]() The earth vibrates at 7.83Hz and crystals vibrate too, at a higher frequency of 32,768Hz.Ĭrystal healer Emma Knowles, who Victoria Beckham has on speed dial, says: “We live in a world of constant shift, vibration, and energy. Every natural substance vibrates at a specific frequency as a result of atoms and molecules moving. ![]() ![]() ![]()
