New Tribal Civilization
No matter what the Old World Order might do or say there are many ways that ordinary people can support each other and take both joint and individual action towards one crucial goal: establishing a Level 4 Civilization by 2014.
As the diagram shows, the disintegration and chaos of the end of the Level 3 Civilization is well advanced - far more than is apparent from the messages of the mainstream media.
The time is ripe to engender new awareness and hope in communities and common interest groups around the planet. This process has already started, particularly on the WWW. Now is the time to give new ideas and new meaning a greater impetus, and to widen and popularise Us-2-Us dialogue in order to help new thinking and values spread and take hold.
Remember, there is no revolution involved in a transition to a free and better society based on abundance and deep spirituality. There will be no violent overthrow of existing power structures; just a firm abandonment of the outmoded and limiting paradigms of the old civilisation that was based on scarcity and centralised control. In the looming age of abundance each neo-tribe and free city can readily support and control its own culture and ethos.
Be very clear about it, whatever the snowmen and parrot people might say;
Secession is not sedition.
My first Bricklink order was great. Everything was in New/Like new Condition. It was all so shiny. I'm definitely planning on ordering again soon.

Tringa nebularia
LaidhrÃn glas
Green-legged Long Shank
Status: Winter visitor to estuaries from September to April from Scotland and Scandinavia.
Conservation Concern: Amber-listed due to its (potentially) small breeding population in Ireland. The European population is considered to be Secure.
Identification: A distinctive long-legged, long-billed wader, quite large, very white looking at long range, with dark wings. Bill straight with a very slight upturn. Legs a washed out grayish green. In flight, quite long-winged, shows no wingbar - just plain, blackish wings, contrasting with a long white rump and back. Not very common - typically seen singly or in very small groups.
Call: A loud "tew, tew, tew", usually calls in flight.
Diet: Feed mostly in deep water sites, channels, brackish pools and lakes, predominantly on invertebrates, particularly shrimps, crabs and Hediste sp., and small fish. They have a variety of feeding techniques, though mostly feed by pecking at the mud, water or vegetation, and catch fish by using a dash-and-lunge technique
Breeding: There have been occasional sightings of birds in suitable habitat (BoCCI listing), and one pair was confirmed to have bred in Co. Mayo on at least 2 occasions during the early 1970's (Irish Birds 1: 236-238, 1978). The main breeding range in Europe extends from pool-dominated and boulder-shrewn bogland areas of Scotland to Scots Pine woods in Scandinavia.
Wintering: Mostly coastal distribution - while the majority are found on estuaries, up to 30% are estimated to winter along non-estuarine coast.
Where to See: Shannon & Fergus Estuary in County Clare, Strangford Lough in County Down, Lough Swilly in County Donegal and Cork Harbour in County Cork all regularly support >50 birds.
Physical characteristics
Tringa with long, robust, slightly uptilted bill and dull green legs. Upperparts spotted and streaked black-brown, lesser wing coverts browner. Head, neck and upper breast streaked brown-black. In flight, shows dark wings, white back and rump. Paler above than T. melanoleuca, with longer legs than former. Female averages slightly larger. Non-breeding adult has feathers of upperparts rather uniform grey, without dark markings. Breast, foreneck and face white. Stronger contrasting dark wing coverts. Juvenile resembles non-breeding adult, but upperparts browner with buff fringes and neck and breast somewhat more streaked.
Habitat
Taiga zone, in forest clearings, woody moorland or open bogs and marshes, including blanket bog. Characteristic of northern and middle taiga. On migration, occurs at inland flooded meadows, dried-up laces, sandbars and marshes. Winters in variety of fershwater and marine wetlands, including estuaries, sandy or muddy coastal flats, salt marshes, mangroves, swamps and lakes. Less often on open coast, sometimes along quiet stretches of rivers.
Other details
Tringa nebularia is a widespread breeder in northern Europe, which accounts for less than a quarter of its global breeding range. Its European breeding population is relatively small (<160,000 pairs), but was stable between 1970-1990. Although the species declined in the United Kingdom during 1990-2000, populations in the rest of its European range were stable or increased, and the species remained stable overall.
This wader inhabits marshes and wet clearings in taiga, from Scotland and Scandinavia to Kamchatka. Its European populations are estimated at 68000 breeding pairs, Russia not included. They are wintering from the Mediterranean to South Africa
Feeding
Diet chiefly insects, especially beetles, but also crustaceans, annelids, molluscs, amphibians and small fish. Usually pecks and probes in shallow water walking with steady pass, sometimes running with erratic changes of direction. When feeding on fish may forage socially in dense flocks of conspecifics or mixed with other tringines, moving erratically while pecking at prey or running synchronously in one direction, ploughing or scything bill through water. Singly or in small to large flocks of up to 100's. Feeds diurnally and nocturnally.
Conservation
This species has a large range, with an estimated global Extent of Occurrence of 10,000,000 km². It has a large global population estimated to be 400,000-1,600,000 individuals (Wetlands International 2002). Global population trends have not been quantified, but the species is not believed to approach the thresholds for the population decline criterion of the IUCN Red List (i.e. declining more than 30% in ten years or three generations). For these reasons, the species is evaluated as Least Concern. [conservation status from birdlife.org]
Breeding
Egg laying from April to June. Usually monogamous, though some males bigamous. High degree of site fidelity, but new generations don't built near parent nest (no natal philopatry). Nest is a shallow scrape lined with some plant material, on ground in the open, typically placed next to piece of dead wood. 4 eggs are laid in a single brood, incubation 24 days done by both sexes, but males with two mates normally do little incubation. Chick pale grey marked above with fuscous black, white belly.
Migration
Migratory. Like other Tringa, will migrate on broad fronts overland. Especially in western Europe, however, largest numbers pass through coastal (especially estuarine) sites. Small numbers winter in western Europe, in Mediterranean basin, and on Atlantic coast of north-west Africa; however, majority of west Palearctic birds are trans-Saharan migrants (penetrating south to Cape Province). Further east, winter range extends to Indian Ocean islands and across southern Asia from Iraq to eastern China and Philippines, and through Melanesia to Australia. One parent (usually ), but not always) leaves territory in late June or first half July, when young c. 4 weeks old; other parent and young depart when latter fully fledged, 3-6 weeks later. Main autumn passage through northern and temperate Europe from 2nd week of July to late October. Return movement begins March in Africa; passage through Europe (in general more direct, and without large coastal concentrations noted in autumn) evident in April, though main movement through North Sea countries and into Fenno-Scandia in first half of May. Some non-breeders remain south all summer.
It's not often I find myself capturing raptors in flight near eye level, so shots like this are a treat. A number of factors have to converge in order to get shots from this perspective and I don't find myself in areas that meet the criteria very often. In this case, I was on the mountainous but treeless island of Adak, Alaska which greatly increased the possibility of such a shot, not to mention the island has no shortage of Bald Eagles.

Status: Largely resident, though Ireland receives birds from Britain during the winter.
Conservation Concern: Green-listed in Ireland. The European population is considered to be Secure.
Identification: A medium sized raptor (bird of prey) with broad wings, a compact body, short neck and medium-length tail. Has a short hooked bill suitable for eating meat. Often seen sitting on fences and telegraph posts or soaring high in the sky, where it shows a fan shaped tail and spread outer wing feathers. Will also hang in the wind on updrafts. Flies with quick, stiff wing beats. Buzzards have very variable plumages from very dark to very light. Much of the plumage is barred. Adults are brown on the upperparts, body and underwing coverts and show a broad black band on the end of the tail and wing feathers. The rest of the underwings are whitish and finely barred. Variation in adult plumage is displayed on both the upper and under sides and some birds can be extremely pale, especially in the tail and upperwing coverts. Juvenile birds are similar to adults and also display a range of light and dark plumage variation; juveniles lack black bands on the ends of their tails and wings and some paler birds show prominent dark markings on the underwing at the carpal (wing joint).
Similar Species: Other raptor species
Call: Very vocal for a raptor, especially in the spring. Has a loud mewing call which it uses mainly in flight.
Diet: Takes a wide variety of prey items including small mammals, birds, rabbits, insects, earthworms and amphibians.
Breeding: Breeding birds are found mainly in the north and east of country, north of a line from Sligo to Wexford. The stronghold of the species is in Co. Donegal, Co. Monaghan and Co. Louth. Birds nest in trees and sometimes on cliffs, usually with access to open land including farmland, moorland and wetland. The species was absent in Ireland from the late nineteenth century until 1933, when a pair bred in Antrim. The species has spread slowly down from the north through the twentieth century
Wintering: Largely resident.
Physical characteristics
Extremely variable. Generally dark brown above and on most of underbody and underwing coverts, from below , wingtip and trailing edge of wing dark, flight-feathers barred, pale area in outer primaries. Extensive geographical variation, partly confounded by individual variation. Races separated on size coloration and plumage pattern. Race vulpinus normally smaller, often with rusty underbody underwing coverts and upperside of tail, generally separable from B. rufinus on darker head and faintly barred tail, race menestriesi rather similar to vulpinus, but larger.
Habitat
Variable, but always with some degree of tree cover. Prefers edges of woods and areas where cultivation, meadows, pastures or moors alternate with coniferous or deciduous woods, or least clumps of trees. In winter open fields, steppe or wetlands. Mainly flat terrain or gentle slopes at low or moderate altitudes.
Other details
Buteo buteo is a widespread breeder across most of Europe, which accounts for less than half of its global breeding range. Its European breeding population is large (>710,000 pairs), and increased between 1970-1990. Although there were declines in a few countries during 1990-2000, key populations in Russia, Germany and France were stable, and the species was stable or increased across most of the rest of Europe.
Feeding
Adaptable, diet according to local and seasonal availability. Essentially a hunter of small mammals, particularly rodents, with voles main prey over much of range, also mice, rats hamsters shrews, young rabbits and hares. Sometimes dominant prey by number are invertebrates, crickets, locusts and earthworms. Reptiles locally important, including lizards, slow-worms and snakes. Birds can be important when mammals scarce. Hunts in clearings and open areas near edges or woods, almost always captures prey on ground. Spends long periods perched scanning or loafing, also spots prey from gliding or soaring flight. Walks on ground when hunting invertebrates.
Conservation
This species has an extremely large range, and hence does not approach the thresholds for Vulnerable under the range size criterion (Extent of Occurrence 30% decline over ten years or three generations). The population size is extremely large, and hence does not approach the thresholds for Vulnerable under the population size criterion (10% in ten years or three generations, or with a specified population structure). For these reasons the species is evaluated as Least Concern. [conservation status from birdlife.org]
Breeding
Eggs laid from march to may. Nests in large trees, fairly close to edge of wood. Nest is bulky platform of sticks and twigs, lined with greenery. Built in fork or on branch near trunk. 2-4 eggs, incubation 35-38 days by female, but most prey caught by male. Chicks have white or brownish grey first and second down. This species is sexual mature at 3 years old.
Migration
Migratory in Scandinavia (wintering in S Sweden), and in most of former USSR- partially migratory in C Europe (increasingly so with latitude)- sedentary in Britain, S Europe, Turkey, Caucasus, Japan and in island populations. Winters in Africa, Israel and Arabia- easternmost breeding populations winter in India, Indochina and China- part of C European population move S and SW in autumn, with some migrants reaching NW or even W Africa. Race vulpinus completely migratory, travelling up to 13,000 km, to winter in S Europe and SW Asia, but mainly in sub-Saharan Africa, particularly in S- crosses over to Africa mainly via Bab al Mandab in autumn, and returns by Suez in spring- 465,827 birds recorded at Elat (Israel) in spring 1986. Race menestriesi apparently non-migratory. Length of migrants absence from breeding grounds increases with latitude.
