Sassy --- I know that all of you won't be attending Thursday's event, but that doesn't mean you can't benefit from this. I gathered you guys here for a short lesson on how to deal with the press.
[...Sassy goes on about the do's and don'ts for press, red carpet etiquette, and so on...]
Okay, I think you all got it. I just have one more thing to let you in on before you go. If you can only take away one thing from today, it's this; the #1 rule in any press situation... always leave them wanting more.

Mais um recém chegado e deslumbrante pasta o Desafio Ostentassaum Novidadeira.
Foram duas camadas e finalizei com tc da Impala, ele é super pigmentado e ao contrário dos outros esmaltes da marca que eu tenho, a consistência dele está perfeita e facilitou muito a esmaltar.
Ele tem um tom de rosa muito bonito, ao vivo é mais azulado e tem um tom muito perfeito.
Haha..I am kidding. This super starling is super friendly and did not my presence at all. It just probably yawned..
When we arrived at the Albany mudflats the tide had been pretty high but was going down...we decided to sit on a log and wait it out hoping the birds would show up, it didn't take long! Avocets started coming in and we witnessed a very 'curious behavior'...they would fly across the water skimming, dipping and even diving full bodied into it. The water hadn't exposed the mud yet but as they emerged they had streaks of mud on their chests! Something I had never seen before and very entertaining!
The last image you can see the mud on it's chest as it's walking out!
I've often seen roadrunners face away from the sun and spread their wings to warm their body core. But, it was 82 degrees this morning. Watched this bird for awhile and after a few minutes, he ran into the shade and immediately began gular flutter to cool down. Curious behavior.
Our beautiful world, pass it on.

Adult male golden-collared manakins (Manacus vitellinus) show off their bright-yellow throat and beard to attract the attention of females. They strut their stuff in groups called leks in a defined display area on the forest floor, which they carefully clean by removing dead leaves and foliage that obstruct the female's view.
During the courtship display, males perform complex acrobatic moves, leaping from one sapling to another, while making conspicuous "snapping" sounds by forcefully beating their wings together above their heads. (phys.org/news/2017-09-cleanliness-sexiness-golden-collare...)
I took this picture while on a photo tour led by Jeff Munoz of Rainforest Photo Tours (rainforestphototours.com).
I watched these two goatfish stay close together with the larger one staying in a vertical position and both alternating between remaining stationary and swimming frantically.
All our behaviour has changed since the pandemic started.
- We have no more group gathering
- We do not visit our friends and families any more
- We work from home
- We do not eat out
- We use technology to avoid interaction in person
- We wear mask
In regard to mask wearing, I believe we still have to do this at least for year 2021!
Have a good day!

Elephants in the San Diego Zoo have a huge enclosure.
Today, seven elephants live in the Zoo’s Elephant Odyssey habitat. Its features include a state-of-the-art Elephant Care Center, helpful, as the herd is made up of older, non-breeding elephants at this time.
They’re enormous and intelligent, strong and sociable. Humans have been impressed by elephants for centuries, simply because they are so big—a male African elephant can weigh up to 7.5 tons (6.8 metric tons)! They also amaze us with their long and flexible noses, large and flapping ears, and loose, wrinkly skin. There are many stories about elephants—you’ve probably heard of Horton, Babar, and Dumbo. Elephants are one of the best-known animals in the world.
Elephants are large and gray and have big ears and long trunks, right? If all elephants seem the same to you, take a closer look. There are two elephant species that are usually recognized: the African elephant and the Asian elephant. There is some ongoing debate about how many subspecies may exist, or whether some of these might, in fact, be species in their own right. Here are a few ways to tell them apart:
- African elephants have large ears that are shaped like the continent of Africa, both males and females have visible tusks, their skin is very wrinkly, their back is swayed, and the end of their trunk works as if they have two fingers there to help them pick things up. African elephants are the largest mammals on land.
- Asian elephants have smaller ears, usually only the males have visible tusks, their skin is not as wrinkly as African elephants’, they only have one "finger" at the ends of their trunk, and their back is dome-shaped.
Empress and Queenie were the San Diego Zoo’s first elephants, arriving here in 1923 via train from San Francisco. After being led off the train, the two Asian elephants refused to move another step, no matter how much encouragement they received. The Zoo’s founder, Harry Wegeforth, M.D., was there to greet them, and it occurred to him that they were probably used to being ridden, so he climbed up on Empress and another staff member did the same with Queenie, and off they walked from the train station to the Zoo, gathering many astonished looks along the way!
Peaches was the San Diego Zoo’s first African elephant—and she made sure to be a memorable one too. When she arrived in 1953, she was three years old, smart, curious, and, as then ZOONOOZ editor Ken Stott described her, “playful as a quarter-ton kitten.” She had made the journey from Africa to San Diego with keeper Ralph “Gabe” Davis, and they got along famously—at least most of the time. When Gabe gave her breakfast, she would grumble and trumpet at him until he left her alone to eat—apparently, she was not sociable in the morning. She also showed a marked preference for men, even pushing away Zoo Executive Director Belle Benchley when she tried to say hello. Peaches did become more mellow as she grew up, but even as an adult, she still had a way of “flirting” with men while more often than not giving women a cool stare.
Since that time, we've had numerous elephants at our two facilities, and our first elephant birth occurred in 1981. In 1971, Asian elephant Carol became famous by appearing on The Tonight Show with the Zoo’s animal ambassador Joan Embery, to meet Johnny Carson and paint for him while millions watched nationwide!
Elephants have been hunted relentlessly for their tusks (even though they’re made of dentine, the same as our teeth). Elephants are now protected, but poachers still hunt them, and they face other problems, too. Because they are so big and need so much food, they can eat themselves out of “house and home.” Elephants and people often come into conflict as elephant habitats undergo dramatic reductions in size. Asian and African forest elephants are listed as endangered, primarily due to habitat loss and fragmentation. African bush elephants are threatened, primarily due to habitat loss and being poached for their tusks.
Elephants Without Borders has been deploying satellite-monitoring collars on elephants throughout northern Botswana since 2000, having tracked over 90 individual elephants; this is one of the longest and largest elephant movement studies in Africa. Every individual pachyderm has its unique character and intriguing story to his or her own seasonal march, preferred routes, and favored places. Each new elephant fitted with a tracking device provides new information to understand the ecology of these animals. Unpredictable individual ranging behavior coupled with a dynamic, ever-changing environment in Botswana underscore the need for long-term elephant studies. The elephants are tracked from a fixed-wing plane, which allows a visual assessment of collared elephants to determine herd structure and habitat use.
Conservation farming project
In collaboration with San Diego Zoo Global, Elephants Without Borders has established a conservation farming project in the Chobe Enclave in Botswana. This project is developing experimental plots with various methods of keeping elephants away from crops, including farming of specific chili species that are thought to be unpalatable to elephants and may deter them from invading crop areas. Along with aerial survey wildlife counts and satellite-collared elephant data, these projects are essential for developing community-based conservation programs to reduce human-elephant conflict and make better-informed conservation decisions for all.

THE GLOBE AND MAIL 05 MARCH 2015
The Ringling Bros. and Barnum & Bailey Circus will phase out the show’s iconic elephants from its performances by 2018, telling Associated Press exclusively that growing public concern about how the animals are treated led to the decision.
The day I saw the familiar behavior from you
I was very shocked, I didn't know there's someone not only me
Actually before you made this act, I didn't notice it yet
But that day, I looked longer time
My eyes lingered and wondered
Full of surprises that I realise it
There's a problem of your ^MiMi^

Coyote (Canis latrans) doing its leopard crawl impersonation as it stalks a prairie dog. Even though it is totally in the open, it hopes the prey will not see its movement as it inches along. Image taken in Wind Cave National Park of South Dakota.
This Spotted Sandpiper did something previously unseen,. As I approached it -- stealthily (I like to think), it moved away from me, as they do. Quick walk. In the normal Sandpiper posture.
Then, for whatever reason, it stopped, and reared up. Think 'standing on its tiptoes'. Vertical posture...VERY unusual. Stood like this for seconds, like it was sampling its surroundings...but it never looked back in my direction. Then it dropped down to normal stance...and flew off.
Not a great photo -- but in this case behavior trumps quality. I processed this photo three times, in three very different ways...couldn't find any pleasing composition. Lacking that, I'm just showing the bird standing upright, like a biped.

A una in Paradiso
Eri per me quel tutto, amore,
per cui si struggeva la mia anima -
una verde isola nel mare, amore,
una fonte limpida, un'ara
di magici frutti e fiori adornata:
e tutti erano miei quei fiori.
Ah, sogno splendido e breve!
Stellata speranza, appena apparsa
e subito sopraffatta!
Una voce del Futuro mi grida
"Avanti, avanti!" - ma è sul Passato
(oscuro gugite!) che la mia anima aleggia
tacita, immobile, sgomenta!
Perchè mai più, oh, mai più per me
risplenderà quella luce di Vita!
Mai più - mai più - mai più -
(è quel che il mare ripete
alle sabbie del lido) - mai più
rifiorirà un albero percosso dal fulmine,
nè potrà più elevarsi un'aquila ferita.
Vivo, trasognato, giorni estatici,
e tutte le mie notturne visioni
mi riportano ai tuoi grigi occhi di luce,
a là dove tu stessa ti porti e risplendi,
oh, in quali eteree danze,
lungo rivi che scorrono perenni.
Edgar Allan Poe
Today after school I drove to fields near my house, hoping to photograph Northern Harriers. As the sun set, I photographed these two Harriers jousting for a perch on one of their favorite trees. A Cooper's hawk also interacted with one of the Harriers. I'm so thankful that I can watch and photograph these birds so close to home.

Bald Eagles Courting Behavior
This photograph was taken at very long range so the quality is not very good, but I thought it is interesting to recording eagle courting behavior. Courting eagles lock their talons (see comment box).

☕ Tigers live solitary lives, except during mating season and when females have tiger cubs. Tigers are fiercely territorial and have and mark their large home ranges.🐱
This video shows a typical behavior of dogs. The exact movement of the tongue is hardly visible to the human eye. To make this process as visible as possible, the footage was slowed sixfold. For videos with only 30fps that is actually quite exaggerated. Therefore, here also unloved ghost images are to be seen, which I regard as still acceptable in the interest of the movement sequence.
Diese Video zeigt ein typisches Verhalten von Hunden. Der genaue Bewegungsablauf der Zunge ist für das menschliche Auge real kaum zu verfolgen. Um diesen Ablauf möglichst gut sichtbar zu machen, wurde das Filmmaterial sechsfach verlangsamt. Für Videos mit nur 30fps ist das eigentlich reichlich übertrieben. Daher sind hier auch bereits ungeliebte Geisterbilder zu sehen, die ich jedoch im Interesse des Bewegungsablaufs als noch akzeptabel betrachte.
Thanks very much for your interest, fav or time to comment !!
Some photos are intended as high art. Some are meant to show incredible photographic skill and razor sharp image.
This is neither. This photo is bird behavior documentation, grabbed spontaneously as the behavior occurred. This little hummingbird visited the nectar feeder, then flitted to the grape jelly...probably out of curiosity. Hovered around the jelly long enough for me to grab the camera, then actually moved in and started eating (drinking?) some jelly.
Must have liked it, for there have been several more jelly visits, and apparently the word was passed on, for at least once two little Ruby Throats have been there together.
We are now seing the world through our mobile phone. The space it looks in our life now is just amazing compare to few years ago when we were using it to pickup a call or send a SMS. With the rise of smartphone, we have the privilege to have internet in our pocket, anytime, everywhere.
We are now more focus on what is happing elsewhere "online" than what is happing just in front of us, in the real world...
Living in China has strengthened this vision of the evolution of our society, in a country where the mobile technology is far away more advanced compare to the occident, for good and for bad.
This is China~~

Love
Can make your world go 'round
Can really bring you down
It's such a state of mind
Can take a long long time
Love
It's such a tricky thing
Can include diamond rings
Can make you scream and shout
If there is no way out
I've got to figure out love.
