A nice intermediate step on Natalia Guzowska's "Another Hexagonal Star" which I'm refolding because I wasn't satisfied with the rendition I presented a few days ago.
The intermediate egret, median egret,[1] smaller egret,[2] or yellow-billed egret (Mesophoyx intermedia) is a medium-sized heron. Some taxonomists put the species in the genus Egretta or Ardea. It is a resident breeder from east Africa across the Indian subcontinent to Southeast Asia and Australia.
This species, as its scientific name implies, is intermediate in size between the great egret and smaller white egrets like the little egret and cattle egret, though nearer to little than great. It is about 56–72 cm (22–28 in) long with a 105–115 cm (41–45 in) wingspan and weighs c. 400 g (14 oz),[3] with all-white plumage, generally dark legs and a thickish yellow bill. Breeding birds may have a reddish or black bill, greenish yellow gape skin, loose filamentous plumes on their breast and back, and dull yellow or pink on their upper legs (regional variations). The sexes are similar.
The non-breeding colours are similar, but the intermediate is smaller, with neck length a little less than body length, a slightly domed head, and a shorter, thicker bill. The great egret has a noticeable kink near the middle of its neck, and the top of its longer bill nearly aligns with the flat top of its head. Close up, the bare skin of the great egret's gape line extends in a dagger shape behind the eye, while the Intermediate's is less pointed and ends below the eye. The intermediate tends to stalk upright with neck extended forward. The great is more patient, often adopting a sideways-leaning "one-eyed" stance.

Pershing II was a two-stage improved version of Pershing la. It utilized a maneuverable re-entry vehicle and radar area-correlation guidance. By comparing the on-coming target with stored images, the missile's accuracy was greatly improved. After detonating, the warhead destroyed the target by airburst or earth penetration. Re-entry vehicles could penetrate the ground to a depth of 100 feet before exploding.
Pershing Il also had a new warhead, new propulsion sections, and modified Pershing la ground support equipment. Fully compatible with existing Pershing la ground equipment, Pershing II was still a manpower-intensive system, requiring 3,800 men for 108 missiles on launchers.
The Deputy Secretary of Defense authorized the Army to proceed with the advanced development of the Pershing II on 7 March 1974. The first Pershing II missile firing at White Sands Missile Range took place in 1977.
The increased range and pinpoint accuracy of the Pershing II were major factors influencing the Soviet Union's decision to seek the Treaty on Intermediate Range Nuclear Forces in which the United States and the USSR agreed to eliminate an entire class of nuclear missiles. The INF Treaty abolished all medium and intermediate range nuclear armed ballistic missiles. The United States and the USSR signed it on 8 December 1987, and the U.S. Senate ratified the INF Treaty on 27 May 1988.
In accordance with INF Treaty provisions all of the U.S. Army's tactical Pershing II missile stages, launchers, trainers, and deployed reentry vehicles had to be eliminated by May 31, 1991. A total of 234 Pershing II missiles were covered by the treaty. Army contractors completed the destruction of the last Pershing II in May 1991. Representatives from the Soviet Inspection Team and the U.S. On-Site Inspection Agency were present to witness the elimination process.
Each side also had permission to destroy 15 missiles and launchers by disabling, then permanently exhibiting them in museums and similar facilities. One of the Army's 15 is the Pershing I missile and launcher on display here at White Sands Missile Range, New Mexico.
