The 'RED' arrow identifies the Mermaid Inn. The gray color on the roads identifies cobbles - slippery when driving. While most of the streets are one-way - what doesn't show is that most of them are barely one car wide and people often park using the street and the side walk.
Well the first map is done. Buildings, tower and water terrain added, all of which are made of wood.
I am a huge Google Maps fan, but with it's birds-eye navigator and real-time traffic info, Yahoo has outdone Google! Check it out: http://maps.yahoo.com/beta/index.php
The ridiculous map that Mareno drew for me. There's one street on the map, labeled "street." There's also one building on the map.
High Altitude Ballooning III: Predicted path and landing site. Not a very straight line this time, but only 22 miles away compared to 150+ for the previous launch

I'm quite wary of putting my actual travels in actual space online anywhere for safety reasons, so I did a kind of emotional map of today. Today was rough. See this blog post for explanation of the image: blogs.ubc.ca/chendricks/2016/07/15/summer-tears-hope/
A Map of the Lower Blackfoot Ecosystem Analysis at the Watershed Scale that displays Bureau of Land Management ownership in 1984. In the 1970s, the Missoula Field Office was part of a visionary team that established the Blackfoot Challenge to coordinate resource management across all ownerships in the Blackfoot watershed, which resulted in a plan to acquire the private timberlands into public ownership. In the mid-90s, the BLM owned only 40 acres of land on the Blackfoot River.
A two day trip to visit Erik. Started out early Sunday morning and took only secondary roads; had it all to myself. Nice and warm, blue skies - what more do you need?
Together we explored the northern part of Langeland Monday before I went home again. Took secondary roads all the way back too and arrived home around 9 in the evening.

Pieter van den Keere (c. 1571-c. 1645) was a Flemish engraver, publisher and globe maker who came to England as a Protestant refugee. Settling in Amsterdam in 1593, he continued to work and began engraving a series of miniature county maps for the British Isles Atlas in 1599. His works also include a map of Ireland, urban panoramas of Utrecht, Cologne, Amsterdam and Paris, as well as a collection of world maps Van den Keere's work here was actually based on a1594 world map by Petrus Plancius (1552-1622). Plancius was a notable figure of the Netherlandish school of cartography and geography in the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries.
After the fiasco of the 2K Jumbo puzzle with missing pieces, this made a pleasant remedy. Edges and top and bottom colourful scenes were completed first, followed by the yellow circular lines. That left the two maps themselves to assemble. Finished yesterday evening.
After completion I did a double-check to make sure we'd not done this one before (they all look the same to me!). Sure enough, we've made this image although not this particular version. In my wooden puzzle stash I have a Nautilus purchased last year through eBay...
I'm not actually at that location lol very near though :)
I'm loving this application. I never installed it on my Pearl. Was too slow & would never attempt that haha

Supporting Map for Letterkenny Development Variation, (Area of Town Centre Extension).

Green means open data. Red means closed data. Circles centered on the transit agency. Circle area is proportional to transit agency size in annual passenger miles. Only agencies with entries in the federally-maintained National Transit Database are represented, which is almost all of them.
I've always been intrigued by these embedded lights on Greene Street in SoHo. It is a work of art called "Subway Map Floating on a New York Sidewalk" by a Belgian artist Francoise Schein (1986). As you can see, some lights were out, unfortunately.
(If you saw someone squatting on the sidewalk in the dark, that was me...)

Internet Research:
The organism is a Chestnut-backed Chickadee. This is not a migratory bird, however, it does make some seasonal movements. For example, in the summer CBCs usually move to the mountains, then back to lower elevations in the summer.
They are found on the pacific coast of North America. Clutch of the CBC can be between 1-11 eggs with two broods per year. They use a lot of fur when making their nests, about half of the nest material is animal hair. They can either nest in holes or in open cups. Hole-nesters are usually a little more successful, but even with this
adaptation, they are still vulnerable to predators like squirrels, snakes, and even black bears.

My Observations:
There seem to be multiple populations and because the CBC male and females look the same, it's hard to tell where the nearest mating members are. I didn't find a nest, but I suspect (based on my research) they are nesting nearby in holes. The distributions seem to be somewhat random, but the CBC is found more often near middle lake shrubs and trees, with one set sighted across the trail in a large bush. They seem to be wandering in sets of 1-3, but in the large bush it seemed that there could have been more (they are pretty quick!).
The CBC are probably feeding on insects around the pond, so I would say it's a source. The offspring probably hang out in their nests until they are old enough to fly and make it on their own. Immigrants probably don't come from too far because these birds are only found on the pacific coast. Immigrants may come from southern California or even Alaska.
Brain and Calculator:
Average number of offspring= 6.
After 5 cycles=16
After 20 cycles~ 67
This population is probably not experiencing this type of growth because they can lay anywhere between 1 and 11 eggs, yet not all eggs survive (they are vulnerable to many predators that also live in the park). It's an extremely variable clutch size.
From the Literature:
There is a study "A Reevaluation of the Effects of Forest Fragmentation on Rates of Bird-Nest Predation" by David Haskell from 1995 that evaluates wether forest fragmentation increases bird-nest predation. His study uses quail eggs to show that forest fragmentation doesn't seem to be affecting predation on quail eggs. I thought this would apply to the CBC in golden gate park because this is a fragmented area with a lot of human interaction, but it seems that the CBC may not be affected by increased predation.
Another piece of literature by Joseph Grinnell, "The Origin and Distribution of the Chestnut-backed Chickadee," published in 1904, discusses the habitats and behaviors of the Chickadee. This set of information(though published quite a long time ago) would confirm the presence of this species in Golden Gate Park and also offered other information that is relevant in SF Bay and similar to the chickadees he studied in Monterrey.
