Summary BALD EAGLE FACTS The American bald eagle stands up to 3 feet tall with a wingspan of 7-8 feet. Although male and female eagles share the same plumage, females, as in most birds of prey, are somewhat larger than males. The adult birds are characterized by their white head and tail and yellow beak and eyes. Immature birds exhibit a [...]
By Sharon L. Peters, Special for USA TODAY “Church can have a tendency to feel rigid and frigid to people,” he says. That dissolves when he walks into Our Lady of Guadalupe Catholic Church in Mission, Texas, with his mutt pack trailing behind his robes. The dogs sometimes veer off from the processional to prowl the [...]
By DIANE HIRAKAWA nytimes.com Published: December 24, 2011 MY grandparents emigrated from Japan to California for a better life. My mother was 10 when the Japanese bombed Pearl Harbor, and she and her family were sent to an internment camp. We have a photo of the notice that was posted on a utility pole in [...]

Jonathan Fleming’s Blog Suki and I have been missing on the blog for a while, but we’re back to talk about the Nikon 1 V1! I must admit, when Nikon first announced the Nikon 1, their first mirrorless camera system, I wasn’t terribly excited. The camera’s design is on the bland side (especially compared to my Fuji [...]
Summary Still trying to figure out the best way to stop action indoors at night on the kitchen floor. I’m getting better stop motion than before. But these are not fantastic images. Just me trying to figure out some technical issues. The hardest part of all this is figuring out whether to leave the V1 [...]
Warmth And Cheer Winter has gripped the Midwest more tightly this week. Our temperatures are well within the ranges one would expect for this time of year. It is cold enough now that riding our bikes means heading to an indoor turnaround point for food before heading back to the van without dawdling along the [...]
More Nikon V1 Images I’ve just about given up trying to photograph the cats with flash inside the house at night. The images gained from that exercise had been disappointing. The flash duration was not short enough or bright enough to always stop the cat in motion and so lots of blurring resulted. So after [...]
New Images with the Nikon 1 V1 First images with the Nikon 1 V1. These are of Gabriella Terra our youngest cat. She loves to hang around while I am working on the computer and either sit on my arm, or the back of my chair or otherwise occupy my keyboard at a moments notice.

vegsource.com 07/18/11 Last year we adopted a dog while attending WorldFest here in Los Angeles, and brought Penny to her new home here at the VegSource compound. But Penny had serious issues, which we didn’t realize until we got her home. She was very fearful of Jeff (and all men), was a fear biter, and [...]
by JOE PALCA June 20, 2011 npr.com Listen to the story… When you think of animals that sing, birds will certainly come to mind. Whales might, too. But mice? Or fish? It turns out mice and fish do sing, although “vocalizations” might be a more technically correct way of describing the sounds they make. Bret [...]
Stina and Mossy usually fight instead of communicate, so this was an odd moment. They kept “talking” for about one hour, constantly.
Huffington Post Dean Praetorius First Posted: 05/29/11 01:27 PM ET It seems some animals can overcome even the most gruesome of fates. These stories of survival are simply incredible, like this dog, who survived over 3 dozen gun shots from a pellet gun and a burial, according to TIME. The stray dog, named Star by her rescuers, [...]
Image Source Most weasels have thick coats and don’t ride bikes. But I saw a breed today that while not possessing thick coats did have thick beards and were even able to ride bikes. And they drank as heartily as this little fellow does. You can always spot a standard weasel by its inability to [...]
Dean Praetorius First Posted: 05/ 5/11 huffingtonpost.com Of the 80 member team that was deployed to take down bin Laden, few draw more speculation than the one on four legs. Most likely a Belgian Malinois (though officials say it could also have been a German Shepherd), there was one non-human member of the SEAL team that [...]
by ROBERT KRULWICH NPR.com Back in the 1930s there was a bird, an Australian bird, who had this thing for a human lady. The lady’s name was Mrs. Wilkinson (I couldn’t find her first name) and she lived in Australia. So did the bird. It visited her daily for food. She named it “James.” When [...]
