As I guide Ojib-Dorty toward Whitcha Manitou and grow in my ways; I see and learn new things. It was a suprise to see Ojib-dorty visited by a Spirit bird. "What is a spirit bird?", you may ask. Well, I believe this was a visit of her ancestors through a bird during her first walk in the woods after her beginning of her Quest toward being a "Anishinabek".
Dorty and I had began a long walk into the woods and once away from anyone and really deep into the Park's consersative area a strange thing happen. A small bird came and began following her. I was a few feet away but it was always just immediate infront of her. It would land on a tree at eye level about a foot or two from her. The color of the bird which was about 2-3" (inches) was blue and white; and as the bird and dorty shared time it seem to have no fear of her. It sat on the tree's bark and turned it head left and right while I from a distance watched them.
After the visit was finished, Dorty told me she wanted to put out her hand to the bird but was not sure that she should. She told me she felt a closeness to the bird and I explained that it may have been the spirits of her ancestors visiting through the bird. I explained that because she was so close to her native way, her spirit was strong and the bird knew and saw this strong spirit. That the bird arrived on her first walk into deep woods since leaving North Bay, I explained it was a welcome of her ancestors to her quest of Anishinabek (a good person).
Being a bird watcher and having the Audubon Society Field Guide of North Americian Birds at home; I tried to identify this species but did not find it in the book.. This seem strange as all birds are listed... but guess a spirit bird would not be there..
