Nominalisation: 002

“Due to a recent speciation event…”

Sitting at the Queen’s Ferry Hotel sipping a Monteith’s Original outside to avoid the suited accompaniment to the Black Cap’s test in Australia, I made a chopping motion with my left hand in the direction of a woman seated on Vulcan Lane wearing green sneakers, a lovely lemon pastel crotcheted top, well cut black hair, and an air of enjoyment.

A smattering of post-apocalyptic sparrow

Finally after managing to get a drink and a smoke in peace at a nearby park off Te Taou Crescent at about five to two this afternoon I saw fledgling sparrows with discolourations I had earlier noticed on a bird off Queen Street.

There were three varieties, one with sunflower gold forehead, one with lemon fore and sunflower distal yellow forehead, and one with lemon yellow tufts from the join of the beak.  The beaked was obviously younger by perhaps a quarter-weight than the other two.

These might be the result of a recent event causing mutations in black and red pigment genes during development.  The exact age of the birds would provide a measure of the date of the event relative to ontogenesis.  The proximal and causative factors could also provide a measure of the impact of the event.
