The Alcoa Osprey are pretty big now. They are wingercizing and building their flight muscles. They are 6 weeks old now and will fledge at 8-10 weeks.
In my very first blog post, I included a link to collective nouns for birds. Now I have found an article of "99 strange collective animal names" broken down into the following categories: mammals and marsupials, birds, reptiles and amphibians, fish, invertebrates. "An intrusion of cockroaches..." You can say that again!
Here's a video of a bird ballet and a different article about fish doing basically the same thing, except in water... Scientists aren't sure how or why they do this. But it's amazing to watch.
I came across the WCV Buddy Archives the other day. Thought you might appreciate me sharing a link...
My blog hit a milestone today! I started this blog less than 4 months ago and today it hit 5000 views! The below capture is displayed on the blog page in the left-hand column. The peaks and valleys represent daily views. The two peaks on the right are when I posted my pictures of Buddy and the video of Buddy. Pretty neat! Thanks to all of you that follow my blog!
