Forget the patience of Job. Bible stories are soooooooo overrated. If we aspire to patience, we should hope for the patience of a mama bird, sitting on her eggs. Madame Queue-Rouge, of the Franklin Institute, is the most patient creature I have ever seen.
(But when she does take a little break, she has 200+ human observers watching over her babies for her, on webcam. I keep her little camera in a window resized small in the corner of my screen, and when she came back after a little break, I found myself exhaling in relief. Those little naked eggs are cute, but I feel much better when Mama Hawk is there.)
Edited to add pictures of what Red-tailed Hawk babies look like. They're kind of ugly little things. I love them. This is what I'm waiting for. What Madame is sitting around patiently, for.
