Summer break may be here, but that doesn't mean the work stops. More than 500 DMPS faculty and administration attended the two day base camp focused on improving student behavior and school culture.
Congratulations to an inaugural class of 22 officers from the Royal Grenada Police Force who completed an 8-week Social & Behavioral Policing program with SGU's School of Arts & Sciences.
The squirrels and chipmunks help the ground-foraging birds (mainly Juncos and Jays) to clean up the spilled seed from the feeders. I enjoy watching them handle the small seeds... their finger dexterity is amazing! This guy is as close as that allowed by my tele lens (~6 ft.). I often have to retreat to achieve focus... after many years these engaging rodents are now totally accepting of my presence! I actually believe the pups learn this trust from their parents... the kids are usually even more accepting!

This muscle tends to drop down (out of the arch) when my toes are pulled up or forced up. Perhaps because it's too tight (story of my life). II believe this may be why my ankle has seemed unable to heal, because of this added tension, and nowhere in the foot bed of my shoes for this muscle to go (STREEEEETCH).

CA. SEA LIONS: MOSS LANDING
Description
California sea lions are known for their intelligence, playfulness, and noisy barking. Their color ranges from chocolate brown in males to a lighter, golden brown in females. Males reach 850 pounds (390 kg) and seven feet (2.1 m) in length. Females grow to 220 pounds (110 kg) and up to six feet (1.8 m) in length. They have a "dog-like" face, and at around five years of age, males develop a bony bump on top of their skull called a sagittal crest. The top of a male's head often gets lighter in color with age. These members of the otariid or walking seal family have external ear flaps and large flippers that they use to "walk" on land. The trained "seals" in zoos and aquariums are usually California sea lions.
Range/Habitat
California sea lions are found from Vancouver Island, British Columbia to the southern tip of Baja California in Mexico. They breed mainly on offshore islands, ranging from southern California's Channel Islands south to Mexico, although a few pups have been born on Año Nuevo and the Farallon Islands in central California. There is a distinct population of California sea lions at the Galapagos Islands. A third population in the Sea of Japan became extinct, probably during World War II.
Mating/Breeding
Most pups are born in June or July and weigh 13 to 20 pounds (6 to 9 kg). They nurse for at least five to six months and sometimes over a year. Mothers recognize pups on crowded rookeries through smell and vocalizations. Pups also learn to recognize the smell and vocalizations of their mothers. Breeding takes place a few weeks after birth. Males patrol territories and bark almost continuously during the breeding season.
Behavior
California sea lions are very social animals, and groups often rest closely packed together at favored haul-out sites on land or float together on the ocean's surface in "rafts." They are sometimes seen "porpoising," or jumping out of the water, presumably to speed up their swimming. Sea lions have also been seen "surfing" breaking waves. California sea lions are opportunistic eaters, feeding on squid, octopus, herring, rockfish, mackerel, and small sharks. In turn, sea lions are preyed upon by Orcas (killer whales) and great white sharks.
Status
Their population is growing steadily, and California sea lions can be seen in many coastal spots such as the Monterey Coast Guard jetty and PIER 39 in San Francisco. The current population is approximately 238,000.
At The Marine Mammal Center
California sea lions are our most common patients at The Marine Mammal Center. In 2009, we admitted over 1700 animals. Nearly 1400 of these were California sea lions. The most common reasons California sea lions are rescued include: malnutrition, domoic acid toxicosis, leptospirosis, cancer, pneumonia, entanglement in debris or fishing gear, gunshots, and other wounds. In 2009, many of the sea lions that stranded were malnourished yearlings. Animals can become severely underweight from maternal separation, disease, lack of food sources, effects of El Niño and other environmental factors. In 1998, the Center diagnosed the first case of domoic acid toxicosis in marine mammals; a condition caused by harmful algal blooms which causes the animals to have seizures. Although the Center has conducted extensive studies to better understand this disease, hundreds of sea lions are affected annually. (Source: Marine Mammal Center 2015: www.marinemammalcenter.org/)
Why does Google think Blur has behavior problems? Define "behavior"...
Blur's my hippie friend. He's 26, has corn rows on one side of his head, drives a Volkwagen bus, smokes clove cigarettes, still listens to grunge, eats tofu on his cereal, and sends his mail in packages that look like rolled up joints.
This is a Tutelina elegans male, the jumping spider with the weird "eyebrows". After spotting this ant, in order to get to it, the spider took a route behind a stem, peered around the stem and then finally started to make his move.
But having snuck up on this meal, he was hesitant to pounce. At first I thought the spider hesitated because the spider was not very smart and a bit of a bumbler.
After some research, it looks like the ant could be an acrobat ant (Crematogaster). After noticing the spider, the ant went into "alarm posture" www.alexanderwild.com/Ants/Natural-History/Communication/.... I can't say for sure what the ant is thinking but wikipedia says: "When in conflict, acrobat ants can release a venom by flexing their abdominal regions. The effectiveness of the venom varies greatly with the opposer to the ant." en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Crematogaster
After capturing the ant, the Tutelina did what seemed to be a "happy dance", at times putting one or both front legs up, or hoisting the ant into the air. I've never seen a spider emote in such a way so maybe the "dance" served some other purpose.

My #40 spider for this year.
COMMON NAME (S): Bison (Buffalo)
SCIENTIFIC NAME: Bison bison
CLASSIFICATION: Phylum: Chordata
Class: Mammalia
Order: Artiodactyla
Family: Bovidae
DESCRIPTION: Length: 10-12.5 feet (3-3.8 meters)
Height at the shoulder: 5-6 feet (1.5-1.8 meters)
Weight: Cow: 800-1000 pounds (360-465 kg.)
Bull 1800-3000 pounds (820-1,360 kg.)
General: Bison are the largest land mammals in North America. Both sexes grow a heavy winter coat of long brown hair and possess a tufted, cow-like tail. The bull is easily distinguished from the cow by a broader head, large muscular shoulder hump and very prominent cape that extends down the front legs.
RANGE: Parks, refuges and private herds in North America.
HABITAT: Plains and open grasslands.
STATUS: General: Secure, no longer considered wildlife species, domesticated classification.
WA State: Secure.
DIET: Consists primarily of grasses.
REPRODUCTION: Breeding season extends from mid-July through the end of August. The gestation period is about 9 months. Generally, the female gives birth to a single reddish-brown calf. At birth the calf normally weighs 40-50 pounds.
LIFE SPAN: About 40 years.
BEHAVIOR: Bison are diurnal ruminants that live in large herds. Cows and bulls both utilize dust and mud wallows for parasite control. During the rut, bulls cover themselves with mud from these dust wallows. Bison communicate with deep-throated grunts. Rutting bulls produce a loud roar to challenge other males or to warn off would-be challengers. Visual clues are transmitted by the tail (e.g., as when held aloft in a "question mark" to signal threat.)
NAMES: adult male - bull; adult female - cow; baby - calf; group - herd
These male Common Goldeneyes were doing a little dance that involved bending their heads back to touch their backs, or extending them forward. They were also making some interesting calls but I don't think the camera audio was able to catch it.
It looks like they're frolicking, but what happened was the black cat was walking along minding it's own business when the tabby cat came out from under the boardwalk and started chasing the black cat. There was some screeching going on, so I don't thing that they were playing.
When the tabby cat saw me, which was around a second after this picture was taken, he stopped chasing the black cat.
