The male killdeer is seen perched on top of the female killdeer in order to appear as one large bird. The behavior is seldom witnessed and even more rarely photographed.
Another fish during a hand shaping session – teaching him to push the soccer ball. This is early in the training where he would get food just for touching the ball.

I forgive people but that doesn’t mean I accept their behavior or trust them. I forgive them for me, so I can let go and move on with my life.

In our shaping tank, we teach the fish various tricks. The teal tube holds food that can be released when they engage in the behavior we are looking to teach. In this case, Anita Li is waiting for him to nose the ball.
Saving the planet one step at a time
Have you heard of climate change?
Temperatures are getting higher. Storms are getting worse. Ice is melting and sea levels are rising. Portions of the coast of Bangladesh are likely to go underwater, lost forever. Millions will become homeless. The ability of the earth to sustain people is threatened.
Why is climate change happening?
Because people are burning up fossil fuels (diesel, petrol, natural gas, coal) at such rapid rates that future generations are now threatened.
Is it possible to slow climate change?
Yes, but we cannot continue to waste time. Carbon dioxide levels are rising rapidly. That is where the number 350 comes in. If we can limit CO2 in the atmosphere to 350 parts per million then we can avoid the worst of the harm to come.
Is there anything we can do?
No one person cam stop climate change but everyone contributes something significant. We can slow out own use of fossil fuels by walking and cycling and taking cycle rickshaws rather than using motorized transport. We can reduce our use of electricity. We can avoid, as a nation, burning coal (pure carbon) or selling it to others to burn. We can encourage the government to act to encourage reductions in fuel use and to encourage walking, cycling, and rickshaws.
This will mean making some changes. Fortunately most of those changes are likely to
increase rather than reduce our quality of life. Imagine being able to cycle safely in
Dhaka. Imagine the air being fresh and clean. Imagine children and youth being able to play in side streets. If we move our focus from cars to people, from traveling long
distances to accessing basic needs close to home, we can reduce congestion and all the misery it causes, We can have more time with family and for the other important parts of life.
Remember 350 is not just a number. It is not just an ideal. It is something we can all work to make a reality.

Harbor seals are NOT sociable. When they haul out, they do so in groups, but keep their distance, a meter ( a yard) or so. Too close, and there is growling and flipper flapping, lunging and baring of teeth, and this youngster gets the word. Thanks to seaworld.org for the insights into the harbor seal behavior I recorded.
