Red-headed Trogon
The red-headed trogon (Harpactes erythrocephalus) is a species of bird in the family Trogonidae.
The red-headed trogon is on average 34 cm (13 in) in length. The male has a red head and breast, a unique feature in the Trogon group. The female resembles the Diard’s trogon without a speckled undertail.
The head, neck and upper breast of an adult male is dull crimson. A narrow white band crosses the mid breast, underneath which the lower breast to abdomen is light red to pink. Pale red can be observed on the flanks whereas the mantle and back of the bird are rusty brown. The male perches on branches with the support of mauve-blue legs. Regarding wing colouration, the lesser and median wing coverts, secondary coverts, as well as outer webs of tertials and secondaries are vermiculated black and white. The primary feathers also appear black and white. As for the bird’s long tail, the central feathers are dark brown with a black tip, the second and third pairs are black and the outer pairs are white with black bases. Finally, a black-tipped cobalt blue bill, a deep mauve-blue gape and eyering and reddish-brown irises shape the bird’s face.
The head, neck and upper breast of an adult female are olive-brown. Just like the male, a narrow white band crosses the mid breast, underneath which the lower breast to abdomen is light red to pink. The mantle and back appear orange to brown in colour. The wings are vermiculated dark brown and yellowish brown. The tail feathers are very similar to those of the males. The bill, gape and bare eyering are pale blue on females.
At the juvenile stage, the head, neck and upper-parts are buff brown, whereas the underparts appear buff white. No black tip on the narrower central tail feathers can be observed.
The Red-headed trogon is a widely distributed species of the Harpactes genus and is occurs across much of the Indian subcontinent and Southeast Asia. It is sporadically distributed from North-Eastern India, Bangladesh and Central Nepal to Southern China, through the Malay Peninsula all the way to areas of Sumatra.
The red-headed trogon prefers upland forests. In the Himalayan foothills it lives in dense broad-leaved forests and in tropical and subtropical zones the species inhabits mostly mixed bamboo forests. In Southeast Asia, this species frequents broadleaved evergreen forests from 300m up to 2600m. In Myanmar, Red-headed trogons live in bamboo and oak forests at 2500m altitude with Ward's Trogons (Harpactes wardi). On the Malay Peninsula, the birds can be observed regularly between 300m and 1680m in evergreen lowland, lower montane and taller upper montane forests. Towards the south of the peninsula however, it is rarely seen below 700m. In Laos, it shares its habitat of evergreen forests and adjacent plains 1700m high, with the Orange-breasted Trogon (Harpactes oreskios). Finally, in northern, western and southern Thailand, it favours climax broad-leaved evergreen forests between 400m and 2000m which it also shares with the Orange-breasted Trogon (Harpactes oreskios).
The bird's local conservation status varies depending on the level of disturbance in the forest. Generally speaking it is locally fairly common in Northeastern India, frequent in Bhutan, and locally dispersed in Bangladesh. The forests of Vietnam appear to be a stronghold, for the birds are reported regularly from many localities throughout the country. Elsewhere throughout its range, it is uncommon to scarce, including Nepal where habitat destruction most certainly explains a rapid decline in population numbers in that area.
In most regions, the red-headed trogon is sedentary although researchers have observed altitudinal movements in Southern Laos, as well as in the Sangthong district, Northern Laos.
Red-headed trogons can most often be found perched on a shaded branch waiting for prey, alone or in pairs. Flight between trees is often sluggish and very low, only a few meters above the ground.
Red-headed trogons are most active in the early hours of the morning and at night, when they fly on the edges of forest clearings in pursuit of flying moths.
In central south Thailand, they share their habitat with the Orange-breasted trogon (Harpactes oreskios). The two species often follow flocks of foraging birds taking advantage of the insects they flush out.
The male’s call resembles that of the Eurasian golden oriole (Oriolus oriolus): a sequence of usually five to six, well-spaced mellow “tyaup” notes, repeated every minute. Occasionally the male calls an extended “pluu-du” note marked by a significant terminal drop in pitch. The call is repeated every 3–6 seconds. As an alarm signal, the Red-headed trogon emits a chattering croak.
Red-headed trogons feed primarily on insects and their larvae found in the foliage, on tree branches or in mid air. They also eat leaves and fruits. Some food items include green orthopterans, stick-insects, cicadas, millipedes, flies, beetles, centipedes, woodlice and moths.
In Northern India, eggs are laid between mid April and mid July, with a peak in May and June. In China, eggs are laid in April, as do eggs in Myanmar. In Thailand, nesting occurs slightly earlier, in March and continues until July, while on the Malay Peninsula dependent juveniles have been observed anytime between early March and late May.
Red-headed trogons usually nest in natural tree cavities, 1.5 to 5m above the ground. The entrance hole is generally wide. Indeed, the pair will enlarge narrow entrances, and occasionally, will excavate the entire nesting cavity. Birds have been seen using old nesting holes of woodpeckers and barbets.
Both sexes contribute to the nesting process, namely excavating, incubating the eggs, brooding and feeding the offspring. However females spend more time brooding, since they alone incubate and brood at night. Males on the other hand contribute more to providing the chicks with food. During the day the pair will take it in turns to brood although they have been known to incubate together.
Nest success is low, at about 9%.

The average length of their marriages was nearly 50 years, so I thought that they could answer authoritatively my question about the key to marital success. Their answers, however, diverged along gender lines. While the wives stressed the importance of conversation, the husbands’ emphasis on “keeping quiet” can best be summarized by this answer: “Whenever we start an argument I just give in.”
The Paparazzi Bots is a series of five autonomous robots each standing at the height of the average human. Comprised of multiple microprocessors, cameras, sensors, code and robotic actuators on a custom-built rolling platform, they move at the speed of a walking human, avoiding walls and obstacles while using sensors to move toward humans. They seek one thing, which is to capture photos of people and to make these images available to the press and the world wide web as a statement of culture's obsession with the “celebrity image” and especially our own images. The flash autonomously goes off, capturing people’s photos and elevating them to “celebrity” in a kind of momentary anointing by the robots. The robots also become celebrities through their association to the “famous people” at the exhibition that are captured by the Paparazzi Bots.
Each autonomous robot can make the decision to take the photos of particular people, while ignoring other humans in the exhibition, based on things such as, whether or not the viewers are smiling or the shape of their smile. When the robots identify a person or group they will automatically adjust their focus and use a series of bright flashes to record that moment.
Surveillance technologies straddle a delicate balance that we have in contemporary culture, where we are all photographed without our knowledge by cell phones, hidden cameras and sometimes “celebritized”. This is a kind of modern baptism with the camera flash and the spectacle of being the focus of the camera becoming a kind of techno anointing.
This work explores ideas surrounding the shifting territories of self and machine and how machines can manipulate the other (us) in a grand co-evolutionary dance of emerging robot-human relations.
The recent emergence of social networks and their ability to connect people through software prompts via the world wide web is a prime example of the co-evolution of humans and their intelligent machines. The fact that the software prompts exploit our social needs for connectivity and social space is so easily exploited in this new critical juncture in our emerging machine human relations.
This camera can track your head and be set to take a photo if you smile mildly, medium-smile or pull-a-muscle smile. When set to smile mode, they do seem to prefer even smiles rather than crooked smiles so here the machine is making determinations about issues of "beauty". I have considered holding a robot beauty contest as an addition to this work.

LITTLE CORMORANT :
The Little Cormorant (Phalacrocorax niger) is a member of the Cormorant family of seabirds: Aptly named, the Little Cormorant is small in comparison with other cormorants, only 55 cm in length with an average mass of 442.5 g. Salim Ali describes the Little Cormorant as a "glistening black duck-like water bird with a longish stiff tail and slender compressed bill sharply hooked at the tail." It is a resident species in most of tropical south Asia, commonly found in Bangladesh, Bhutan, Cambodia, China, India, Indonesia, Lao People's Democratic Republic, Malaysia, Myanmar, Nepal, Pakistan, Sri Lanka, Thailand, and Viet Nam; additionally, it is a vagrant species in Afghanistan. The estimated population was 280,000 - 350,000 in 2009: Due to its large population and extremely wide geographic range the Little Cormorant is categorized as least concerned by the IUCN. The Little Cormorant is not a migratory bird; it dwells year-round in trees near a water source.
> Breeding Patterns And Sexual Display
The breeding season of the Little Cormorant falls between May and October, with some minor “variations [due to] changes in the rainy season.” The actual breeding of the Little Cormorant takes place in trees, typically in the company of Darters and Egrets. At the beginning of the breeding season the male begins his advertisement or sexual display in order to attract a female: In this display, which “occurred repeatedly (2 to 9 times)…the neck was drawn back, the nape was almost or actually touching on the back, the bill was pointed upward, and the tail was spread....Within 1 to 2 days, the male started to display another step in which the wings of the advertised male were partly replaced on the back, the head was drawn back slowly, almost or actually touched the nape, threw forward in a hammer-like stroke, making a slight sound and back to the same positions repeatedly, [after which]… the head was perched…, the bill was opened a bit and the head and the neck feathers were ruffed out.” The female response occurred within two days, and then the birds begin to display together: “the female jabbed with male’s bill, head, nape, rump, tail and calling. After 5 to 7 seconds, the male flew away and after 5 to 10 minutes he came back towards the female or sometimes the male flew away to another site and the female followed him and this was performed repeatedly. With this display the pair formation occurred permanently.”
> Morphology During Breeding
Over the course of its breeding season the Little Cormorant undergoes a variety of morphological changes: In both sexes, at the beginning of the breeding season the color of the feathers dull from black to grey, or as Naher describes they "became ashy with a short occipital crest" or head plume. Also in both sexes, “the whole margin of the gular pouch was observed to become paler,…black bristles like plumes on either side of the beak and white eyelashes were found on the body of the birds,…and a white triangular patch [appears] on the head of the bird.”
> Nest Location
The nests of the Little Cormorant are often built in mixed colonies: some studies dissent on whether they mix with Storks and Egrets orFlying Foxes and Egrets, but they agree that they have mixed nesting colonies, typically located in trees near some body of water .This water source could be any type of water, natural or man-made: Little Cormorants have been observed nesting in trees near canals, drainage ditches, natural ditches, seasonally flooded agricultural lands, bogs, marshes, swamps, fens, peat-lands, freshwater lakes, freshwater marshes, rivers, streams, and creeks. “In rare occasions nesting trees are found away from water bodies.”
> Nest Construction
The Little Cormorant gathers a variety of plants to build its nests, depending on the geographical location: Of the vegetation used, the Little Cormorant uses most parts of the plant, but most often they use dry twigs from the plant, the dried plant in its entirety, or the stem of the plant; on occasion they do use dry fruit, leaves, and plant fiber but these are used much less often. Little Cormorants construct their nests in a cup-like shape with a depression in the middle which vary considerably in size: “the outer diameter of the nest varies from 19-45cm,…the inner diameter of the cup ranges from 9-20cm,…and the depth of the cup [varies] from 4-8cm. The male and female partner both take part in the collection and arranging of the nest, using their “breasts, legs, and bill to give the nest a proper shape.
> Eggs
The Little Cormorant has a clutch size varying from 2-6 eggs; the birds typically lay eggs at one day intervals, but were sometimes “laid at an interval of two days.” The eggs themselves are relatively pointed at one end and round at the other, measuring a length of 4–5 cm and a diameter of 2.5–3 cm. When the eggs are first laid they are white to bluish-white in color, however, over the course of incubation they become slowly brown; the later in the incubation process the darker the egg. The incubation process has been said to be between 22–26 days in past studies, however in a more recent study in Bangladesh the incubation period was from 14–21 days with a mean of 17 days; regardless of the length of the period, both the male and female take part in the incubation of the eggs.
> Foraging Patterns
"Cormorants are almost exclusively fish-eaters;" they drive their prey towards inshore waters by beating the water with their wings and gradually close in on the fish. Additionally, Cormorants are "foot-propelled pursuit drivers...well adapted to diving in shallow waters;" As such,they typically take a series of dives from the water’s surface interspersed with breathing breaks. The Little Cormorant forages in inshore waters, "following a specific foraging pattern, consisting of perching near the inshore water prior to the beginning of the dive...[and then] dropping into the water;" after the first dive, the bird pauses for a short time to recover and then continues to alternate diving and resting for a period of time; the pauses and dive lengths vary with different environmental conditions such as water depth and tide level. The foraging behavior and diving pattern of the Little Cormorant also varies significantly due to other environmental characteristics of the habitat, such as type of fish present or type of body of water.

Fagion-sylvaticae Luquet
Beech wood, DE: Buchenwald
Slo.: bukov gozd, poškodbe po žledu
Dat.: March 18. 2016
Lat.: 46.19221 Long.: 13.75602
Code: Bot_937/2016_IMG9721
Habitat: moderately steep mountain slope, southwest aspect, cretaceous clastic (flysh) bedrock; relatively thick soil layer; elevation 700 m (2.300 feet); average precipitations 2.000-2.600 mm/year, average temperature 8-10 deg C, alpine phytogeographical region.
Place: Southeast from Mt. Žabijski vrh, 772 m (2.533 feet) east of town Tolmin, East Julian Alps, Posočje, Slovenia EC.
Comment: When raindrops formed in a layer of relatively warm air high above the ground fall into a lower layer of cold air (below 0 deg C) they do not freeze immediately. For a certain period of time they can have below-freezing temperature but still remain liquid. When such drops touch tree branches, or power lines or other cold objects they freeze instantaneously. This meteorological phenomenon is known as freezing rain or glaze frost. Ice layer starts to develop on all cool enough surfaces. If the layer of ice is thick and heavy enough damages on object may appear. This is actually happening every few years here and there in Slovenia but usually only locally. Still, some damages to trees and power lines have been experienced from time to time.
End of January 2014 exactly such meteorological conditions developed in some parts of the state and the ice started to accumulate. The conditions worsen next days and spread almost over the whole state. In the first two days from 50 to 170 mm (from 2 to 6.5 inches) of rain almost entirely transformed to ice layer. Tree branches trapped in heavy ice load started to break down, followed by small and later bigger trees and low voltage power lines. After five days of almost unchanged meteorological conditions the ice layer was so thick that also large trees were toppled followed by even the largest 220kV power lines and communication towers of all kinds. Beginning of February after persisting weather conditions and very high amounts of precipitations (up to 400 mm (16 inches) of rain in a few days) the state was faced with a never seen and heard off catastrophe recognized also on European level.
2.000 km of power lines were down. 15% of population of Slovenia was without electricity several days, a few thousand people for almost two weeks. Several railway connections were cut for several days since railway electricity lines poles were broken or lines covered by thick ice layer and therefore useless. Hundreds of roads were impassable. Over 1.000 large trees crashed down on about 90 km of freeway Ljubljana - Koper. Internet and phone lines were down. Mobile phones failed either because communication towers were down or there was impossible to charge them. About 90% of forests road (about 12.000 km) were impassable or damaged. Almost 55.000 people were engaged in rescue teams including army and 700 people from abroad as international help.
The biggest price was paid by forests. In Slovenia 58% of its territory is covered by forests; this is the second highest value among all European countries. In only five consecutive days 51% of them (more than 500.000 ha) were damaged. About 9.500.000 m3 of wood fall down. At worst places more than 50% of total wood volume in the forest was destroyed.
Pictures show how Fagion-sylvaticae (mostly Fagus sylvatica) forest near town Tolmin looked like two years later in 2016 in spite of huge efforts of community to clean forests of the country after the disaster. Think about: tiny (but many) rain drops slightly cooler than 0 deg C ..... ;-)
