Thank you very much, again Marcus, for the identification of this bird.
Rufous-collared Sparrow (Zonotrichia capensis)
The Rufous-collared Sparrow, Zonotrichia capensis, is an American sparrow which breeds in highlands from the extreme southeast of Mexico to Tierra del Fuego, and on Hispaniola.
This abundant bird is found typically at altitudes between 600 and 4000m, locally lower, in open areas including cultivation, gardens, parks and scrubby second growth. It copes well with urban and suburban environments, but is absent from the Amazon basin. The nest, built by the female, is a cup of plant material lined with fine grasses. It is constructed in matted vegetation on the ground, low in a tree or bush, or lin a niche in a wall. The female lays two or three brown-blotched greenish-blue eggs, which she incubates for 12-14 days. The male helps in feeding the chicks.
The Rufous-collared Sparrow is 13.5-15 cm long and weighs 20-25 g. The adult has a stubby grey bill and a grey head with broad black stripes on the crown sides and thinner stripes through the eye and below the cheeks. The nape and breast sides are rufous and the upperpart are black-streaked buff-brown. There are two white wing bars. The throat is white, and the underparts are off-white, becoming brown on the flanks and with a black breast patch.
Young birds have a duller, indistinct head pattern, with brown stripes and a buff ground colour. They lack the rufous colllar, and have streaked underparts.
There are between 25 and 29 subspecies. In general, the smaller forms occur in coastal mountains, intermmediate birds in the Andes, and large, darker, forms breed on the tepuis. The largest tepui subspecies, Z. c. perezchincillae has grey underparts, and the rufous collar extends as a black band of freckles across the breast. This form might be separable as a distinct species.
The Rufous-collared Sparrow has extensive geograpical variation in its vocalisations (see section below), but calls include a sharp tsip. The male’s song, given from a low perch, typically includes slurred whistles with or without a final trill, tee-teeooo, e’e’e’e’e, or teeooo, teeeee.
The Rufous-collared Sparrow feeds on the ground on seeds, fallen grain, insects and spiders. It is usually in pairs which hold small teritories or in small flocks. It is tame and approachable.

Tico-Tico (Zonotrichia capensis) - Rufous-collared Sparrow.
Muito obrigado, mais uma vez, ao Marcus pela identificação deste passarinho.
15cm. Identificação: lembra um pouco o pardal, mas apresenta listras branco e pretas no topo da cabeça e um pequeno topete.
É uma ave muito conhecida , presente até mesmo em músicas populares, o tico-tico é bem conhecido não só por ser comum, mas também por não ter medo do ser humano. Nada arisco, é possível chegar a poucos metros desta ave sem que ela se incomode e em locais onde está acostumada pode até mesmo comer na mão.
Alimenta-se de pequenos invertebrados, sementes e pequenos frutos. Aprende a comer em comedouros artificiais, chegando ate mesmo a entrar em casas.
Muito comum em fazendas, também ocorre em cidades, contanto que sejam bem arborizadas.
Os machos são territoriais e podem brigar entre si. Chegam até mesmo a brigar contra a própria imagem refletida em vidros e espelhos retrovisores de carros.
O ninho é geralmente construído em árvores baixas ou trepadeiras, podendo ser até mesmo construído diretamente no chão. A fêmea alimenta os filhotes sozinha.
É a principal vítima do chopim ( Molothrus bonariensis ), que bota seus ovos no ninho do tico-tico, que os choca e alimenta os filhotes como se fossem seus. Os filhotes de chopim, muito maiores e mais fortes matam os ``irmãos´´ tico-ticos. Chega a ser revoltante ver a fêmea de tico-tico alimentando os filhotes de chopim, maiores que ela própria e implorando por comida o tempo todo.
A população do tico-tico tem decaído em alguns locais como na cidade de São Paulo e esta decadência tem sido atribuída, entre outros possíveis fatores, ao aumento na população dos chopins.

Esta espécie é muito conhecida pelo seu constante convívio com o ser humano. Seu canto diurno tem 4 ou 5 assobios claros e bem pronunciados e à noite, ou em situações de perigo, mesmo durante o dia, emite o chamado canto noturno que é forte e diferente do primeiro.
Alimentação: sementes e insetos, apanhados geralmente no solo onde se movimenta aos pulinhos.
Nidificação: constróem o ninho, em forma de tijela, em arbustos, moitas de capins, barrancos e mesmo no chão. Utilizam raízes e ramos no trançado externo. Os 3 a 5 ovos medem cerca de 21 mm x 15 mm e são verde-amarelados claros cobertos por pontos pardo-avermelhados ou cor-de-vinho. Após 12 ou 13 dias de incubação, os filhotes, ao nascer, são alimentados pelos pais por uma esfera de artrópodes amassados; à medida que crescem, passam a receber insetos inteiros presos às maxilas dos pais. Os filhotes abandonam o ninho 9 a 12 dias após o nascimento, tornando-se independentes com cerca de 20 a 30 dias de vida. Os ninhos de tico-tico são fortemente parasitados pelo chopim (Molothrus bonariensis), sendo esta uma das possíveis causas do declínio de suas populações, outrora muito mais numerosas.
Hábitat: áreas abertas como campos, jardins e praças urbanas com vegetação.

Cattails grow at Dutch Gap Conservation Area in Chesterfield County, Va., on Aug. 12, 2019. The area protects 810 acres of woods, wetlands and wildlife bordering the James River, and in 2017 a boardwalk for hiking and viewing, as well as a paddle craft launch were installed. The Audubon Society names Dutch Gap one of the top birding sites in Virginia. Home to a large heron rookery, it attracts bald eagles and other hard-to-find species.

FENDI BAGUETTE BAG ANNIVERSARY | FENDI POP-UP
New York, New York
situation
“It’s not a bag, it’s a Baguette,” quipped Sarah Jessica Parker in “Sex in the City,”—forever immortalizing it as a fashion staple. Conceived by Silvia Venturini Fendi, the prominent fashion clutch is commemorating its 25th anniversary and is the feature for the Fendi winter 2022 capsule.
To celebrate, Fendi unveiled a New York pop-up boutique, situated at 90 Prince St. in the heart of SoHo. This 1,850 square-foot space was transformed to showcase the Fendi Baguette collection. Teaming with agency Innercity (IC-YA), Britten WoodWorks would craft the essential elements to transform a vacant storefront into a playful pop-up befitting the Fendi brand.
The principal feature would be oversized reproductions of the Baguette itself, fitted for product merchandising display. True to Britten’s capabilities, creating this larger-than-life design adds amusing dimension to the space.
solution
Using formed plywood as the core interior and Brittens's Foam3D™ elements to construct the compound curves and edges, Britten WoodWorks crafted outsized replicants of the iconic handbag—detailed down to the flap, clasp, and signature sleek edges.
Spanning 10’ high and 12’ wide and equipped with floating shelves and ready-to-wear racks, each Baguette was integrated with 3000K LED lighting to house and highlight the collection’s pieces.
Configured in three sets of match pairs, two in jewel-tone green, two in light pink, and two in Tiffany blue, each were color-matched to the exacting hues of the rest of the Fendi interior.
impact
By entrusting Britten WoodWorks, Fendi conveyed its aspirations for a phenomenal pop-up and its brand perception. The finished detailed interior cemented Britten WoodWorks as a complete idea-to-install fabricator and capable partner to shoulder the weighty brand presence of Fendi.
The results demonstrate Britten WoodWorks' ability to produce refined finish details that match highly stylized brand expectations with the technical demands of retail merchandising. From concept to installation in just four weeks, expediate skilled work is another benefit of partnering with Britten, Inc.

This protest was part of a national week of action to Stop Adani in May 2017. Josh Frydenberg is the Liberal Member for Kooyong and the Environment and Climate Change Minister in the Turnbull Government. He needs to step up and stop the Adani Carmichael coal mine from being developed as it is inconsistent with Australia's ratification and commitments under the 2015 Paris Agreement to keep temperatures well below 2C temperature target. 95 per cent of Australia's coal must remain unexploited to be consistent with limiting temperatures to 2C according to a 2015 peer reviewed study by Ekins and McGlade

The Cartagena protocol on biosafety, a supplement to the convention on biological diversity, has strong support in Africa, with a majority of the countries as signatories. In addition, several countries have, in the past, rejected aid (especially unmilled grains) in food imports with concerns for national biosafety. South Africa is so far the only country that is seeing wide-spread use of genetically modified crops.
