The sparrows are a family of birds belonging to the songbirds. A total of eight genera with 43 species are counted in this family. The word "sparrow", like the English word sparrow, came into modern German usage from the Proto-West Germanic sparwō via the Old High German word sparo, forming the Middle High German verb spar for 'to wriggle', with the pejorative suffix -ling. Its distribution is predominantly Eurasian and African, with Africa being the centre of distribution. A few representatives of this genus have also been introduced to other continents. For example, the house sparrow, also known as the sparrow, is found in large parts of North America and South America after European settlers deliberately introduced it there. The house sparrow is now also widespread in Australia and New Zealand.

Die Sperlinge sind eine Familie der Vögel, die zu den Singvögeln gehört. Es werden insgesamt acht Gattungen mit 43 Arten zu dieser Familie gerechnet. Das Wort „Sperling“ kam, wie auch das englische Wort sparrow, vom protowestgermanischen sparwō über das althochdeutsche Wort sparo, unter Bildung des mittelhochdeutschen Verbs spar für ‚zappeln‘, mit dem Pejorativsuffix -ling, in den modernen deutschen Sprachgebrauch. Ihre Verbreitung ist vorwiegend Eurasien und Afrika, wobei Afrika der Verbreitungsschwerpunkt ist. Einige wenige Vertreter dieser Gattung wurden auch in anderen Kontinenten eingeführt. So kommt der auch als Spatz bekannte Haussperling beispielsweise in weiten Teilen Nordamerikas und Südamerikas vor, nachdem europäische Siedler ihn dort gezielt eingeführt haben. Auch in Australien und Neuseeland ist der Haussperling mittlerweile weit verbreitet.

Well, the Cat Distribution System has struck again. After months of feeding Inky outside and earning her trust, we got her in a cat carrier and took her to the vet last week. Turns out she tested negative for FeLV and FIV, as well as heartworms. She has no parasites, either. So we decided to see if she would be happy as an indoor cat. She seems to be very happy to be out of the elements. I gave her a blanket that the Oriental Shorthairs loved to sleep in and she immediately started making biscuits and purring. She didn't purr when she was outside. We isolated her for a couple days from the other cats and are introducing them slowly. So far things are going well and everyone is getting along. While we didn't need another cat, apparently the universe decided we did. Welcome to the family Inky!
Distribution: Southern South America, in parts of Brazil, Argentina, Paraguay and Bolivia.
Also known as tricolor hognose snake, banded hognose snake, culebra falsa, and false coral snake.
Adult tricolor hognoses usually average about 2 ft in length, with females usually slightly larger than males. They are more stout than a corn snake of similar length, but more slender than North American hognose snakes of the genus Heterodon. Due to their resemblance to North American hognose snakes, sometimes this species is mistaken for a unique morph of Heterodon nasicus.
Habitat: This region is a dry, sandy environment on the eastern foothills of the Andes, characterized by dry scrubland, grasslands, and savannahs.
Diet: They are typically found near streams, as their diet consists mainly of amphibians (similar to other hognose snakes).
Note: Friend's pet.

The common tern (Sterna hirundo) is a seabird in the family Laridae. This bird has a circumpolar distribution, its four subspecies breeding in temperate and subarctic regions of Europe, Asia and North America.
It is strongly migratory, wintering in coastal tropical and subtropical regions. Breeding adults have light grey upperparts, white to very light grey underparts, a black cap, orange-red legs, and a narrow pointed bill. Depending on the subspecies, the bill may be mostly red with a black tip or all black.
There are several similar species, including the partly sympatric Arctic tern, which can be separated on plumage details, leg and bill colour, or vocalisations.
The nominate subspecies of the common tern is 31–35 cm (12–14 in) long, including a 6–9 cm (2.4–3.5 in) fork in the tail, with a 77–98 cm (30–39 in) wingspan. It weighs 110–141 g (3.9–5.0 oz). Breeding adults have pale grey upperparts, very pale grey underparts, a black cap, orange-red legs, and a narrow pointed bill that can be mostly red with a black tip, or all black, depending on the subspecies.
The common tern's upper wings are pale grey, but as the summer wears on, the dark feather shafts of the outer flight feathers become exposed, and a grey wedge appears on the wings. The rump and tail are white, and on a standing bird the long tail extends no further than the folded wingtips, unlike the Arctic and roseate terns in which the tail protrudes beyond the wings. There are no significant differences between the sexes.
In non-breeding adults, the forehead and underparts become white, the bill is all black or black with a red base, and the legs are dark red or black. The upper wings have an obvious dark area at the front edge of the wing, the carpal bar. Terns that have not bred successfully may moult into non-breeding adult plumage beginning in June, though late July is more typical, with the moult suspended during migration. There is also some geographical variation; Californian birds are often in non-breeding plumage during migration.
Juvenile common terns have pale grey upper wings with a dark carpal bar. The crown and nape are brown, and the forehead is ginger, wearing to white by autumn. The upper parts are ginger with brown and white scaling, and the tail lacks the adult's long outer feathers.
Birds in their first post-juvenile plumage, which normally remain in their wintering areas, resemble the non-breeding adult, but have a duskier crown, dark carpal bar, and often very worn plumage. By their second year, most young terns are either indistinguishable from adults, or show only minor differences such as a darker bill or white forehead.
The common tern is an agile flyer, capable of rapid turns and swoops, hovering, and vertical take-off. When commuting with fish, it flies close to the surface in a strong head wind, but 10–30 m (33–98 ft) above the water in a following wind.
Unless migrating, normally it stays below 100 m (330 ft), and averages 30 km/h (19 mph) in the absence of a tail wind.[5] Its average flight speed during the nocturnal migration flight is 43–54 km/h (27–34 mph)[22] at a height of 1,000–3,000 m (3,300–9,800 ft)

Seldom seen in daylight this time of year, Ohio Street's second shift workhorse Y233 delivers a single box car (ex-Amtrak) to the Sonwil Distribution Center, off of Ship Canal Pkwy near Tifft.
Sonwil is one of two customers located on "The Lehigh" (the other being CertainTeed), which connects Ohio Street Yard and CP Draw at the north end to Seneca Yard and the South Buffalo Railway to the south. This connection is used daily by CN L531, the daily Canadian transfer train from Port Robinson, ON to South Buffalo, and a few times a week by CSX to either serve their customers or as part of a wye move to turn covered hoppers for General Mills. (Certain hoppers can only be unloaded from one side inside their plant.) The lone box car here is a far cry from the 10 spots available, which have been known to be completely full at times. Neighboring Sonwil to the left is their newly finished Four Square warehouse, which seems to finally have been completed in the last year. However, despite having been laid two and a half years ago, the brand new track alongside the building remains untouched, having yet to see any rail traffic. In fact, directly behind me was a mound of snow covering the start of that track. The lack of any cars here continues to be a puzzling move, following the discontinuation of rail service in September 2023 at their Depew location on the A Industrial, siding in favor of starting up the new warehouse. With locations connected by rail also in Niagara Falls and West Seneca via NS, there's certainly no lack of options for them. Of note, neither of those locations are rail active either, but the infrastructure exists. In the case of Niagara Falls, the track which leads to that location is presently out of service, near the end of the Junction Industrial line downtown. The building Sonwil occupies was formerly part of the Niagara Falls Nabisco plant, whose silos still stand empty today 20+ years since their last usage. Ironically this time last year in January 2024, the West Seneca location was actually looking to reactivate with NS, citing displeasure with delays in switching by CSX at Tifft. NS cleaned the track up and made sure it was in ready condition, but Sonwil never once received a car there either all year long. The West Seneca location was known to previously receive refrigerated box cars. For one reason or another, it's as if Sonwil can't seem to make up their minds on what they want, despite the railroads' willingness to work with them. In the meantime 'ol reliable at Tifft seems to get the job done just fine. To see some more rail traffic generated on their behalf would be a bright spot in a region which continues to lose a couple customers every year.
According to my analysis,
the math is over.
No more sad statistics
from the year of fear and loss.
But it meant nothing to you,
you small sum of a bird,
the axiom of my logic.
You were too busy with your own estimates,
with equating your chances
from the coordinates
of a proven sweet solution.
You’ve become a garden constant,
flying square routes and triangles,
adding to the measure of my work.
“Simplify the variables,” you sing,
then, in a fraction of a blur,
you dance the impossible graph of your ardour.

A cockatoo is any of the 21 parrot species belonging to the family Cacatuidae, the only family in the superfamily Cacatuoidea. Along with the Psittacoidea (true parrots) and the Strigopoidea (large New Zealand parrots), they make up the order Psittaciformes. The family has a mainly Australasian distribution, ranging from the Philippines and the eastern Indonesian islands of Wallacea to New Guinea, the Solomon Islands and Australia. Cockatoos are recognisable by the prominent crests and curved bills. Their plumage is generally less colourful than that of other parrots, being mainly white, grey or black and often with coloured features in the crest, cheeks or tail. On average they are larger than other parrots; however, the cockatiel, the smallest cockatoo species, is a small bird. Cockatoos prefer to eat seeds, tubers, corms, fruit, flowers and insects. They often feed in large flocks, particularly when ground-feeding. Cockatoos are monogamous and nest in tree hollows. Some cockatoo species have been adversely affected by habitat loss, particularly from a shortage of suitable nesting hollows after large mature trees are cleared; conversely, some species have adapted well to human changes and are considered agricultural pests.
Rainbow lorikeets are true parrots, within the Psittacoidea superfamily in the order Psittaciformes. The rainbow lorikeet or lorikeet (common name) is a species of parrot found in Australia. It is common along the eastern seaboard, from northern Queensland to South Australia. Its habitat is rainforest, coastal bush and woodland areas. They are true parrots of medium-size, with the length ranging from 25 to 30 cm, including the tail. The weight varies from 75 to 157 g. The plumage of the nominate race, as with all subspecies, is very bright. The head is deep blue with a greenish-yellow nuchal collar, and the rest of the upper parts (wings, back and tail) are green. The chest is orange/yellow. The belly is deep blue, and the thighs and rump are green. In flight a yellow wing-bar contrasts clearly with the red underwing coverts. 60505

The Painted Lady group of colourful butterflies comprises the subgenus Cynthia of the genus Vanessa in the Family Nymphalidae. They are well known throughout most of the world.
The group includes the Painted Lady (Vanessa cardui), which is almost global in its distribution; Australian Painted Lady (Vanessa kershawi); American Painted Lady (Vanessa virginiensis) and West Coast Lady (Vanessa annabella). (WIKI)
This is a distribution box in the street near the postal sorting office. There are always interesting flyers glued to it.
The Gregson is a fantastic community-run arts center, with a nice bar (run by volunteers), good food, and a 'secret cinema' (it's tiny!) that puts on all sorts of indy movies. They also host events, such as this dance.
