FORT BRAGG, N.C. – Soldiers and family members of the Fort Bragg community will soon have access to a new $14.7 million Behavioral Health Clinic, scheduled for completion by the end of 2012 by the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers Savannah District and prime contractor Hensel Phelps. The 63,500-square-foot facility has a walking trail and extensive garden areas, including an on-grade healing garden for individual patient relaxation. One side of the building is constructed of transparent and frosted glass, which will provide views of the garden and existing wetlands from the patient waiting rooms. The facility will provide behavioral health and social work/family advocacy services in support of Soldiers, family members, and the Fort Bragg community.

By request. Claudia -- I saw a cardinal doing this about a week ago, too. The first bird I ever saw this behavior in was a Red-bellied Woodpecker on top of its bird house -- I thought it was sick and dying. ;-)

The males of this species are well known for their aggressive behavior. While slightly smaller than our resident breeders up here (Broad-tailed), they typically assume ownership of our feeders on their arrival in the fall from their Pacific Northwest breeding area... we see them only during their fall migration. Many of our local Broad-tailed male Hummers simply cede the feeders. This year, the migrating Rufous Hummers occasionally seemed to outnumber our local breeding Broad-taileds.

I usually have a hard time taking pictures of woodpeckers at their suet feeders because they always hide on the far side. Today, though, the cold, snow, and sleet made the eating more important to them than what I was doing. Also, I moved the feeder from one side of the porch to the other (smile). Thus, I was able to photograph this woodpecker eating in the snow. Windsor Park where this shot was taken is a section of Charlotte, N.C. (See map at right.)
I hope you're enjoying bird-watching and taking pictures of birds today. Thank you for taking the time to look at and possibly comment on one or two of my photographs.

The spiketail dragonflies (cordulegastridae) are named for the prominent ovipositor of the females which they use to deposit eggs in streambanks with what has been described as a sewing-machine like motion. In this video, just to the left of the red flag is a female spiketail— most likely an arrowhead spiketail based on the fact that I know them to be in this general area— ovipositing in the stream bank. This was something I wanted to see and video and was blessed to have this impromptu opportunity while volunteering for a Riverwatch Macroinvertebrate Survey.
I didn't like the Mursi too much because of their particular aggresive behavior, but I really pity the women being a victim of this mutilation!

the sign above it read: the water in this drinking fountain is perfectly clean and the toilet has never been used. So why do people often hesitate before taking a drink? Strong emotional association with objects or people make it difficult to act rationally around them. I couldn't bring myself to drink from this fountain.

I cannot say enough how lucky I am to have two incredibly patient and outgoing bengal cats. These two played ALL day with a VERY exuberant 4 yr old boy, and never batted an eye once to his rough antics and crazy play. They have never been around kids like that and they did SOOOO good. They played chase with him, were hit with wand toys (4 yr old boys have trouble learning you wiggle the wand on the floor, not in the cats face). Mia and Bayou never ran away, they actually enjoyed every minute of it!! (Dexter is more skittish and with his arthritis, I just kept him in a bedroom). I thought Mia would be a bit spooked by having 22 people in the house, but again, did not phase her ONE bit.
Bayou passed out at bedtime, but Mia was more like an overstimulated toddler...she was attacking feet, meowing, getting into trouble and just wouldn't go to bed. But she has been passed out all day today, so I think she finally hit her wall :)

last spring my friend James Potter made a behavioral model of ant colonies based on spiking neural networks. he was invited to Hungary for research and given a presentation slot in a cognitive science lecture about swarming.
the other week my friend Parker visited and was telling me about how bird's flight patterns and chaotic self-organization can be simulated based on a similar model involving random movement between minimum and maximum distances the birds can be apart from one another.
I am living with James and Parker in the spring and we are going to create something cool about birds, damnit.
the truly sick picture of birds is here though -
