The Wazooey Man

It was 1973, and two boys were playing in an arroyo (gulch or dry creek) in the Pueblo area of Colorado when they had an experience that they would never forget. They came across a creature that they would later nickname the ‘Wazooey Man’.

They were playing with their air pistols when they noticed that they were being watched by ‘two huge red eyes’. Presumably shocked by the bizarre sight, one of the boys started firing BB pellets into the eyes - seemingly prompting them both to be picked up by an invisible force and thrown down into a ravine. A large wooden post came out of the ground and hit one of the boys on the head. Utterly terrified at this point, the boys took off towards their truck only to realise that they had somehow lost the ignition key.

With this new hindrance, the panicked youngsters ran to the road and started trying to hitchhike - but they noticed that ‘some form’ resembling ‘a mobile haystack with two huge red eyes’ would manifest every time they tried to go west, and force them to retreat back the other way. There is little information on how they escaped the situation, which they presumably did because they must’ve lived to tell the tale.

Once you approach a problem with a certain kind of drive and optimism, the problem tends to solve itself—almost as if some invisible force is helping you.

The Greek and Roman Stoics would later write of the Logos and the Neo-Platonists of the Nous - a force which flowed through and bound all things together but was, at the same time, distinct from creation and eternal - and so Heka lived on under these different names. The influence of the Neo-Platonists on the development of religious beliefs is well established, and so Heka continued as he always did; the invisible force behind the visible gods.

Hawk’s Invisible force Shield Protects Humming bird From Jays

Hawk’s Invisible force Shield Protects Humming bird From Jays

When you’re tiny, it’s good to have big friends in high places. That’s how hummingbirds in Arizona manage to protect their eggs and chicks from being eaten by voracious jays. The hummingbirds can nest safely on low boughs surrounding a tree that has a hawk’s nest at the top. That’s because of the way hawks hunt, swooping on prey like jays horizontally or from higher up. As a result, jays stay away from a zone spreading out and down from the top of any tree where hawks are nesting.

Jays are agile and can hop around in foliage to rob hummingbird nests, so the hawks’ presence effectively envelops the hummingbirds in a cone-shaped force field that keeps their eggs safe. “The jays are food for the hawks, and the hummingbird eggs are just too small and take too long for a predator like a hawk to find,” says Harold Greeney, director of research at the Yanayacu Biological Station in Cosanga, Ecuador.

Greeney and his colleagues went to the Chiricahua mountains of south-east Arizona, where they mapped the positions of hawk and hummingbird nests, and tracked the movements of jays.

They found that jays avoided raiding hummingbird nests in conical zones beneath the 12 hawk nests they observed over three years. “It fans out roughly 100 metres in all directions from the hawk nest,” says Greeney. Instead, the jays foraged at altitudes above where the hawks were nesting.

However, hawks nests may be raided by coatis, tree-climbing raccoon-like mammals. In years when this happened and hawk nests were abandoned, the jays became much bolder – visiting what had been no-fly zones and taking more hummingbird eggs and chicks than when the hawks were around.

Greeney says that the phenomenon of a key predator providing sanctuary for much smaller species is unprecedented in the bird world. But he doesn’t think the hummingbirds consciously seek out the protection. “They simply return to sites where they’ve previously had good breeding success, and this happens to be under the hawk nests,” he says.
