HELLO. S.E.X. Chirp. Mature post!
The birds are certainly chirping in our hood these past few weeks. Maybe it is just Spring in the air. Maybe it’s just romance. Let’s fall in love.
Sex and single bird.

THE BIG IDEA: Every summer, male songbirds called lark buntings shed their dull winter plumage and fly north from Mexico and Texas to build ground nests on the short-grass prairie of the Pawnee National Grassland, northeast of Denver. By the time female birds arrive two weeks later, the males are brightly adorned, often with glossy black feathers and white wing patches that flash as they zoom skyward and float back to the ground, singing all the while. These fancy traits and aerial displays may ward off other males, and they also send a come-hither signal to females. Scientists have always assumed that female birds, looking for good fathers, consistently choose males that exhibit the same exaggerated sexual traits. But my research shows that their preferences change from year to year. Sometimes females even select partners that look completely different from the previous season’s mates.

Can anyone identify the birds in these beautiful photos? We’d like to talk about them a little more.
source fotografia-przyrodnicza note: this post can also be seen at friday ark and Landthebird#72 hosted by Ecobirder where we learn from this post that the bird sharing a branch with the eagle is a magpie. Mike Bergin at 10,000 Birds also identifies the magpie. The expert contributions are appreciated…
This is not a sneak preview. But then again, I never saw this movie before and it is too incredible. This must be a Disney movie, right?
A new meaning to rescue, right? This one makes you think. right? BTW—just saw the movie “Ratatouille” and when you think about that—disgusting.

This post celebrates World Animal Day and Bless the Animals. Follow the links to learn more about PM’s initiative which started on October 4.
Every time we used to go to the zoo it seemed all the animals were sleeping. In Buenos Aires, evidently, they’re just too well-evolved to be seen. Can you name them, let alone see them?

To promote the zoo’s guided tours, Del Campo Nazca Saatchi & Saatchi took five experts in camouflage and shot them hidden by their surroundings. Count on mimicry to apply to human advertisers too, once this gets around (Creativity, February 2008)
This post was placed in response to the World Animal Day 2008 initiative. All images can be seen at Bless Animals.

“Curiosity” artist Jeff Jordan
“Hurry home” artist Jeff Jordan
It is fair to say (North-coast,US) artist Jeff Jordan is one of the pioneers of “lowbrow aestheticsâ€, with his unique and peculiar imaginary and otherworldly realm. As you may know, in the past few years “Lowbrow Aesthetics†has become a sizzling “new†art movement and is all the rage among hip young urban artists and a new breed of art collectors. In fact, most of the content you view daily on paintalicious is based around much of this lowbrow genre that has its roots in the pop culture of the 1960s: including comic books, B-movies, Pop Art, California Funk, rock `n’ roll, psychedelia, graffiti, tattoos, surf art and so on.
But don’t look to me for answers. Like somebody really famous (we all know who) said, the answers are all “blowin’ in the wind.†- Jeff Jordan April 2004
