I rose this morning early as usual, and went to my desk. But it's spring, and the thrush is in the woods, somewhere in the twirled branches, and he is singing. And so, now, I am standing by the open door. And now I am stepping down onto the grass. I am touching a few leaves. I am noticing the way the yellow butterflies move together, in a twinkling cloud, over the field. And I am thinking: maybe just looking and listening is the real work. Maybe the world, without us, is the real poem.

MOST ICONIC BIRD CALL BRACKET: ROUND ONE: BARN OWL vs. WOOD THRUSH

IN THE BLUE CORNER, we have a wrestler with eerie beauty and deadly grace, the silent assassin of the ring, the barn owl!

despite its soft plumage and its sweet, heart-shaped face, this is an opponent that demands respect. the barn owl is incredibly agile, able to fly silently through the air and strike its opponents with deadly precision. you might think that, like any owl, the barn owl will hoot - but if you run with that assumption, you'll be in for a nasty surprise when you hear that piercing, ear-shattering shriek.

IN THE RED CORNER, it's time to face the music. hailing from the lush forests of north america, it's the wood thrush!

this is a fierce opponent that's been training for this competition its entire life. this bird is able to sing not one, but two notes at the same time, giving its song an ethereal, flute-like quality. the wood thrush is here tonight to prove that it's not just a pretty face - this is a true championship contender. get ready, because the wood thrush is here to sing his way to victory!

[sillylotrpolls]

(Unnecessarily complicated reason for poll below poll)

So, a prominent character in the Silmarillion is Lúthien. She is the precious only daughter of a powerful elf king and a demi-goddess, and she's very beautiful and good at dancing and sings like a bird and is 100% Tolkien's insert character for his wife (awww). She is also called Tinúviel, which means Nightingale.

Later, when Aragorn first meets Arwen, he calls her Tinúviel in reference to a famous song about Lúthien's beauty and grace. Arwen is all, lol, fun fact, that's my great-great-grandma you're talking about, makes sense. (She kindly does not mention that Lúthien is also Aragorn's ancestor if you go back far enough.) So if you haven't read the Silm (sensible of you), you can just picture Arwen when answering this poll.

Now, hypothetically, someone might be trying to write a fanfiction in which Legolas is compared to Lúthien for assorted reasons (mostly because it's funny). But this potential author is not really up on birds, particularly song birds, and so they are uncertain what the best/funniest bird comparison for Legolas would be. This possible author might desire the wisdom of tumblr on the topic, but prefer to keep things hypothetical, because heaven forbid they commit to creating anything.

I assume you understand.

tl;dr If Gimli came upon Legolas in the woods and had to compare him to a bird, what would be the most appropriate bird for him to choose? Bonus points if Thranduil is highly offended or gratified by the choice.

PS: Any Tolkien scholars in the audience want to weigh in on whether Jirt was at all influenced by the Hans Christian Anderson fairy tale The Nightingale? Since I have recently learned just how much of LotR is referential I keep wondering about these things.

Clanmew warrior cats oc name translation time again? Yes.

Coalfrost- Kitchiki (hot coal-frost)

Dewlight- Pesooane (dew-ray of light). I chose ane over shayu because Dewlight was named for being optimistic and outgoing, kind of like a ray of sunshine... or a ray of light!

Eveningcloud- Piarrwifha (evening-thin cloud). Went for thin cloud over fat cloud because Eveningcloud is chill but not in a lazy way, more in a they kinda vaguely don't care way.

Foxcloud- Aowaohai (fox-fat cloud). Now THIS is a fat cloud cat. Chill but because they're lazy lol.

Falconscreech- Yassganyaolr (raptor-yowling) No word for falcon, so just used raptor! For screech, I was torn between screaming and yowling, but I chose yowling since it gives more of the this cat is really loud vibes.

Fireflydawn- Ahaigioochawhaf (glow-bug-dawn). In the absence of a word for firefly, i figured combining glow and bug would do.

Heatherbounce- Ssnibpipip (heather-bouncing). I picked the present tense mostly because she is always in action haha.

Maplestream- Hwooqshush (field maple-stream). Making use of the new word for maple here!

Moorstride- Kiyyrpaohao (grass-travelling). Struggled to translate this one, but it's where i ended up!

Softsnap- Wuffgnamna (soft fur-biting). Chose bite over snap just because in the absence of the alliteration, bite has more, well, bite to it.

Sparrowchirp- Qeeyanaya (sparrow-singing). No word for chirp, so I figured singing would do well enough.

Spiderbite- Skegnamnag (cobspider-bit)

Weaselsight- Byrrirpipo (weasel-sight)

Hydrangeadawn- Meyfuhawhaf (violet-dawn). No word for Hydrangea so I picked an approximation.

Pinefoot- Nyyp'pwyyar (pine needle-foot)

Songspeckle- Errarriwoowoo (song thrush-spotting). Chose the bird over song itself because I think that's fun.

Swanstep- Hchomssappap (swan-walked)

Tideshred- Saossassrapssen (current-shredded). No word for tide, figured current was the closest thing.

First submission to use the new Maple word award! I appreciate the use of thin-cloud for Eveningcloud, fat-cloud is the popular choice so it's nice to see the underdog get love lmao

Words for you;

Peregrine Falcon (Falco peregrinus) = Pree

Eurasian Hobby (Falco subbuteo) = Yowpiu

Moor = Hwayao NOT JUST A GRASSLAND. This is the equivalent of "Forest" to "Woods." When Clan cats say "moorland" they are referring to an entire biome, encompassing heaths, grasslands, tors, and dales.

Heath = Afwa The "woods" to moorland "forest." This is a particular parcel of the moorland, an area with acidic soil that needs to be managed through fire or grazing, lest it success into sparse woodland.

Chirp/Note/Beat (Word is used interchangeably) = Bwi The same Clanmew terms for various songs are used for birdsongs. A Bwi is a single beat of the larger song of a bird, or just one word in a speech. When combined with another Bwi, you have a Tune. Put Tunes together and you have a song.

Hawthorn (Crataegus monogyna) = Arke Clan cats don't have hydrangeas, so I went and found a plant that looks a lot like them! Hawthorns have fluffy clusters of flowers and grow with big, strong, thorned bushes. Feel free to translate as 'haw' or 'hydrangea,' however you'd like. If you want to keep the 'exotic' feel of a domestic plant, feel free to play around with the words for domestic rose, or fuschia.

This picture of a brown thrasher (Toxostoma rufum) brings thoughts of peacefulness and solitude.

[exhaled-spirals]

« Many men walk by day; few walk by night. It is a very different season. . . About ten o'clock,—when man is asleep, and day fairly forgotten,—the beauty of moonlight is seen over lonely pastures where cattle are silently feeding. On all sides novelties present themselves. Instead of the sun there are the moon and stars, instead of the wood-thrush there is the whip-poor-will,—instead of butterflies in the meadows, fire-flies, winged sparks of fire! . . .Instead of singing birds, the half-throttled note of a cuckoo flying over, the croaking of frogs, and the intenser dream of crickets. . .

The shadows of rocks and trees, and shrubs and hills, are more conspicuous than the objects themselves. The slightest irregularities in the ground are revealed by the shadows, and what the feet find comparatively smooth, appears rough and diversified in consequence. For the same reason the whole landscape is more variegated and picturesque than by day. The smallest recesses in the rocks are dim and cavernous; the ferns in the wood appear of tropical size. The sweet fern and indigo in overgrown wood-paths wet you with dew up to your middle. The leaves of the shrub-oak are shining as if a liquid were flowing over them. The pools seen through the trees are as full of light as the sky. . . You see the moonlight reflected from particular stumps in the recesses of the forest, as if she selected what to shine on. These small fractions of her light remind one of the plant called moonseed,—as if the moon were sowing it in such places. »

9 WOOD THRUSH High on Nardil and June light I wake at four, waiting greedily for the first note of the wood thrush. Easeful air presses through the screen with the wild, complex song of the bird, and I am overcome by ordinary contentment. What hurt me so terribly all my life until this moment? How I love the small, swiftly beating heart of the bird singing in the great maples; its bright, unequivocal eye.
