Feathers in the Circle

Went to the gym Friday Night and did the regular routine.

Saturday morning Mark discovered that (presumably) one of the cats (he blames Cicero) had killed a bird and spread feathers (at least) all over the garden circle.  Of course it looks like an augury to me (similar to reading tea leaves),  but Mark forbade me from posting photos, claiming it was something The Internet didn't need to see.

Standing at the periphery of the circle and looking at it, I tried to figure out what, if anything the feathers suggested.  The feathers have a blue tint to them, but are mostly dark -- maybe they come from a scrub jay, but I am not sure (they seem small for a jay, but too large for something like a nuthatch, chickadee, or junco).  All of the feathers are in the southern hemisphere of the circle.  There's a lot of down feathers.  Slightly east of the center of the circle, there's a square of primary feathers.  There's a scattering of secondary and down feathers closer to the southeast edge.   There's a clump of last week's mown grass midway to the southwest edge with some down feathers on it --  which looks like a body part, but is really feathered vegetation.  There's a scrap of semi-plumes halfway to the perimeter, west-southwest.   All of the feathers are in the circle, which is about eight feet in diameter; so far I haven't found any entrails, feet, head, or beaks.  

The square of primaries is made up of about six or seven feather, and is more of an open-ended box, with the opening pointing south-southeast.  The quills suggest a clockwise motion around the square box's center.

Interpreting the feathers as hands on a clock, they suggest to me ten minutes after ten (approximately).  Interpreting the clumps of feathers as events on the wheel of the year, they suggest a gathering or collection (the clockwise box) of ideas (primary feathers)... maybe a still active opportunity?  I'm not sure what down feathers and semi-plumes would signify, but the timing would around May 1 (the Ides of Spring) and later around August 15 (a week or so past the Ides of Summer).   Since the semi-plumes look worse than they actually are, perhaps this presages a bumpy event that isn't all that bad?

(Sits back...)

I suppose the primary thing the feathers in the circle tell us is that the cats caught a scrub jay.  

I'm left caught between the phrase, "Scripture is everywhere; pay attention," and that dream Mark once had decades ago where he came home and I had enchanted a string of sausages to learn the future from them and they were mad and from the frying pan they said, "Why are you asking us?  We're just sausages!"
