Petroglyph expert Paul Nevin uses a wet sponge to reveal carvings made up to 1,000 years ago on rocks in the Susquehanna River in Lancaster County, Pa., on Oct. 6, 2020. Made by an Algonquin-speaking group known as the Shenks Ferry people, many petroglyphs on a stretch of the Susquehanna were flooded by dam construction decades ago, but sites like Big and Little Indian Rock are now on the National Register of Historic Places.

MacArthur Elementary School is seen in Binghamton, N.Y., on Aug. 30, 2019. After remnants of Tropical Storm Lee indundated the school with over three feet of water from the nearby Susquehanna River, the school was rebuilt with numerous measures to improve its resilience to flooding. The lower level of the school, sitting in the river's flood plain, was converted to a playground that can flood without lasting damage, while rain gardens and other structures to soak up and filter stormwater are scattered throughout the campus.

The James River is seen in downtown Richmond, Va., on Aug. 13, 2019. Like many cities on the eastern seaboard, Richmond was established along the fall line, the area of geological transition between coastal plain and Piedmont, where rivers often have a steeper gradient and become too rocky for large vessels. Cities like Richmond became the terminus for ships carrying goods as far as they could upstream. (Photo by Will Parson/Chesapeake Bay Program)

A text, in english, from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
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.

A demonstrator carries a message that translates to "Commercialisation seriously harms health", fearing that TTIP could threaten the provision of health and care services. More than 2000 protesters march through Brussels, joining citizens in 700 other cities across the EU and the US, in a day of action against the emerging Transatlantic Trade and Investment Partnership (TTIP) and similar secretive international trade deals.
According to the coalition of citizens’ organizations that launched a self-organised European Citizens' Initiative on the free trade agreements (stop-ttip.org/), there are various reasons to worry about TTIP:
"1. A THREAT TO DEMOCRACY: If agreed, TTIP would give corporations the power to sue governments over decisions that could harm their future profits, undermining democratic decision-making made in the public interest.
2. A THREAT TO PUBLIC SERVICES: TTIP will create new markets in public services such as health and education, leading to greater liberalisation and privatisation. It would also make it very difficult to bring these services — as well as our energy and water — back under public control or renationalise them.
3. A THREAT TO FOOD SAFETY: Through a harmonisation of food safety regulation, EU food safety standards would be lowered to US levels. This would remove EU restrictions on genetically modified organisms GMOs), pesticides and hormone-treated beef.
4. A THREAT TO THE ENVIRONMENT: TTIP would see EU environmental regulations being harmonised and reduced to US levels, allowing a US-style fracking boom in the UK and elsewhere in Europe.
5. A THREAT TO THE CLIMATE: With strong investor rights, TTIP would allow corporations to sue governments for bringing in new policies to leave fossil fuels in the ground.
6. A THREAT TO WORKERS’ RIGHTS: Workers’ rights could be reduced to US standards and businesses could relocate to US states and EU countries with the lowest labour standards.
7. A THREAT TO PERSONAL PRIVACY: Leaked documents indicate that TTIP could be used to reintroduce central elements of the Anti-Counterfeiting Trade Agreement (ACTA), which was rejected by the European parliament after popular protest. This could force internet providers to spy on their customers.
8. A THREAT TO FINANCIAL CONTROL: TTIP is set to remove many of the new financial regulations (such as banking safeguards) have been introduced since 2008 to prevent a future financial crash.
9. TTIP IS BEING NEGOTIATED IN SECRECY: While corporate lobbyists are playing an integral role in negotiations, the public have been shut out. All negotiators must sign nondisclosure agreements. There is no access to the draft text of the agreement — even for MPs — so most of what we know is from leaked documents.
10. TTIP IS A DANGEROUS BLUEPRINT FOR THE REST OF THE WORLD: If TTIP is agreed, countries in the global south will come under huge pressure to apply TTIP standards to avoid losing trade. The business lobby are upfront about their aim of creating ‘global convergence toward EU-US standards’. This would see free trade policies forced on poorer countries, that they have had no part in negotiating."
