As the birds grow ... the plot only thickens ... we now fear they may be Ferckens. To quote from the only source we can find, “The Fercken is believed to be an unusual cross between the feral cat and the owl. Scientists believed this to be impossible, until recently, when an entire breeding flock was discovered in the Piedmont section of Virginia. Untamed, these creatures can be exceedingly dangerous. They combine the ferociousness of a feral cat, with the stealthy hunting abilities of an owl. They have never been observed in captivity. And due to their dangerous built in weaponry, vicious feral attitude, and ability to not only claw and bite, but their penchant for flying into one’s face and plucking out the eyeballs of their victim, no scientist has yet been willing to manage a flock in captivity. Unsubstantiated rumors abound of a reclusive mountain man found living in a cave in the Shenandoah National Park who had a captive flock of Ferckens. Several nesting sites were found in and around his cave home. As the National Park Police surrounded his site two other bearded men were seen loading what appeared to be cardboard boxes into an older model black SUV. They were not apprehended. While residing in federal prison, awaiting his trial for living on National Parkland without a permit, the hermit, who will identify himself only as The Bird Man, babbles on about the importance of taming birds while they are young so they do not attempt to take over the world. He sits in his prison cell and watches “The Birds” over and over, day in and day out, begging everyone he comes in contact that they must listen to him if they are to save the world. Psychologist who had spoken to him, say it is just the ravings of a mad lunatic. Scientists who have studied his cave site insist there is no fear that he was raising the dreaded Ferckens as all scientific evidence points to nesting habits of perfectly normal chickens. “
I went to the zoo ~ a place I have very mixed feelings for. Unlike this chimpanzee, they let me out at closing time.

There is much to learn by settling in and observing a primate such as this young animal. He was just on the other side of the glass in this exhibit, and he would occasionally look me directly in the eyes. At that moment, I couldn't help but wonder what he was thinking of me ... as I was thinking of him.
Is he alone in captivity, or is it I that is a captive soul? I wonder...

When we walked into the tapestry room at The Cloisters immediately our eyes went to this famous tapestry. I loved that it wasn't behind glass and you could get up close to it to appreciate the craftsmanship and bask in its history - it's dated between 1495–1505!
From the website: "'The Unicorn in Captivity' is tethered to a tree and constrained by a fence, but the chain is not secure and the fence is low enough to leap over: The unicorn could escape if he wished.
Clearly, however, his confinement is a happy one, to which the ripe, seed-laden pomegranates in the tree—a medieval symbol of fertility and marriage—testify.
The red stains on his flank do not appear to be blood, as there are no visible wounds like those in the hunting series; rather, they represent juice dripping from bursting pomegranates above.
Many of the other plants represented here, such as wild orchid, bistort, and thistle, echo this theme of marriage and procreation: they were acclaimed in the Middle Ages as fertility aids for both men and women.
Even the little frog, nestled among the violets at the lower right, was cited by medieval writers for its noisy mating."
Another pic from my archives... weather's been a bit bland lately. Pouring down rain today too.

Red-faced spider monkeys are found in northern South America. They live in northern Brazil, Suriname, Guyana, and French Guiana. Red-faced spider monkeys inhabit undisturbed primary rainforests.
Red-faced spider monkeys are arboreal animals. Because of their ability to climb and jump, they tend to live in the upper layers of the trees and forage in the high canopy. These monkeys are social and associate with large groups of up to 30 individuals during the night, but choose to spend the days traveling, foraging, and resting in much smaller groups.
The main threats to Red-faced spider monkeys include hunting and habitat loss. These monkeys have a very slow reproductive rate giving birth to infants only every 3-4 years which affects the decline of their populations even more.
The International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN) Red List and other sources don’t provide the number of the Red-faced spider monkey total population size. Currently, this species is classified as Vulnerable (VU) on the IUCN Red List and its numbers today are decreasing.

LS&I 2501, the last U25C in existence, sits on display near the railroad's ore dock in Marquette. Unfortunately, the unit and the rest of the display are looking worse for wear. However, the lack of maintenance on the display allowed for some color to pop up along the fence. Presque Isle, Marquette, MI.
In the third year of the reign of Jehoiakim king of Judah came Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon unto Jerusalem, and besieged it. And the Lord gave Jehoiakim king of Judah into his hand, with part of the vessels of the house of God: which he carried into the land of Shinar to the house of his god; and he brought the vessels into the treasure house of his god. And the king spake unto Ashpenaz the master of his eunuchs, that he should bring certain of the children of Israel, and of the king's seed, and of the princes; Children in whom was no blemish, but well favoured, and skilful in all wisdom, and cunning in knowledge, and understanding science, and such as had ability in them to stand in the king's palace, and whom they might teach the learning and the tongue of the Chaldeans.

Gilly, an American Kestrel. He's 11 yrs. old. The last bird from my Raptor Trust photo shoot. American Kestrels live in open areas from farm fields and grasslands to city parks. They nest in tree cavities and are the only hawks that will nest in man-made boxes.
It's Easter week and business is very busy. Please bear with me contacts as I slowly make my way to your pics.
