A virtual mountain of cow feed – protected with plastic sheathing – awaits use at an eastern Washington dairy farm. Cows eat between 75 and 100 pounds of feed every day. Animal foodstuffs are the largest single operating expense of a dairy, approximating 60% of typical outlays. Most dairies grow as much of their own feeds as they can.

. . . and the ants, I guess. :-)
Attracted the smaller fowls, - the larger, like the Myna seems not dare to land in the garden, - they keep high in the light poles around here. We'll see what happen. I guess I should find a proper bird-feeder.

Feeding tube. This is what a feeding tube looks like. The end is soft. Pip pulled it out with no ill effects.

The World Food Programme helps the Ministry of Education implement a nationwide school feeding programme, that is part of its policy of providing free basic education for all from pre-school to Grade 9. It aims to increase enrolment and attendance of school children, and increase learning capacity by providing a mid-morning meal at school. In 2009 the programme reached 224,000 students.

We are having to force feed Bugs with a syringe, which none of us (especially not Bugs) enjoys. Sometimes the food will overflow out of Bugs' mouth, so we have clipped a paper towel around him to make a bib, which has really helped.

My wife feeding some goats at the petting zoo. She seems to take to every animal she sees. Animals run when they see me, on the other hand.
Last Friday, we had a very low tide in Charleston harbor around lunch time. Near the marine lab is a bay with a series of oyster ridges that become exposed with the tide. I walked out of the old Harbor Master's House, where my office sits at the MUSC marine lab on James Island, and looked toward Ft Sumpter and saw seven dolphins lined up perpendicular to the beach on either side of the rocky ridge that was also perpendicular to the shore.....as I watched one of the dolphins made a high speed run.....and I mean high speed it had to be going 30 mph within feet and hit the shallow water and rolled on it side and trapped fish which it then preceded to eat while it laid on its side and then drove itself with strong rear fluke beats (and a few pushes from its pectoral fin) back out into deeper water.
These 9 photos show the series with this last one taken about mid way as it slowed to eat. What a treat....for 45 mins they alternated running at the beach. I actually missed the first runs because it happened so fast I could not anticipate their run if i had the camera to my eye....so held it up and looked over it and as they started a run, I'd try to track them. After 45 mins I was tired and still excited.
..today as I left my office at 4:30, the tide was low and they were back out there doing it again.....but the light was not great. But what an amazing treat to watch another beast make its living!
The southernmost point of Africa, looking east at the Indian Ocean and the Agulhas Lighthouse.
Located at the very bottom of Africa, Cape Agulhas has been a significant landmark for centuries, attracting visitors from around the world.
The early history of Cape Agulhas is woven from the threads of various cultures and civilizations. Theories suggest that prehistoric men inhabited the area, feeding on shellfish and other marine resources, possibly further back than 2000 BC.
The earliest known inhabitants of the region were the Khoikhoi and San people, who lived in the area from around 1000 BC to the 17th century. These indigenous peoples were skilled hunters and gatherers.
The first recorded European visitors to the area were the Portuguese, who arrived in the 15th century. The Portuguese sailor, Bartolomeu Dias, was the first European to round the cape in 1488.
The cape was later named "Cabo das Agulhas" (Cape of Needles) by the Portuguese, due to the rocky outcrops and strong currents that made navigation hazardous.
Chinese sailors may also have visited the area, with some theories suggesting that they arrived in the 13th century. However, these claims are still a topic of debate among historians.
The arrival of European sailors and settlers had a profound impact on the indigenous population, leading to displacement, marginalsation, and ultimately, the loss of their land and way of life.
Cape Agulhas itself is the official meeting point of the Indian and Atlantic Oceans, marked by a iconic bronze marker. This unique geographical feature creates a diverse and thriving marine ecosystem, with an incredible array of marine life.
The geology of Cape Agulhas is a fascinating story that reveals the region's complex and ancient history. The rocks found at Cape Agulhas are part of the Table Mountain Group, a geological formation that also includes the iconic Table Mountain in Cape Town, 166 kilometers away. These rocks are estimated to be around 450-500 million years old, dating back to the Ordovician period.
The Table Mountain Group is characterised by a unique sequence of sandstones, shales, and quartzites that were formed through a combination of tectonic activity, erosion, and deposition. These rocks have been shaped by millions of years of weathering, erosion, and plate tectonics, resulting in the distinctive landscape we see today.
The Agulhas Bank, a shallow plate stretching away from the shore into the ocean, is a remarkable feature of the region. This bank is approximately 116 000 square kilometers in size and is characterised by a gentle slope that gradually deepens as you move further offshore.
Further south, the Agulhas Bank plunges into the deep ocean, forming the Agulhas Trench. This trench is a remarkable feature that stretches for more than 2000 kilometers, all the way to Antarctica. The Agulhas Trench is a key component of the global ocean circulation system, playing a critical role in the exchange of heat, nutrients, and marine life between the Atlantic, Indian, and Southern Oceans.
Cape Agulhas is a must-visit destination for anyone traveling to South Africa. Visitors can explore the Cape Agulhas National Park or the cape's picturesque villages, such as L'Agulhas and Struisbaai, which offer a range of accommodation options, from cozy bed and breakfasts to luxury hotels.
However, Cape Agulhas is not immune to the impacts of climate change. Rising sea temperatures, ocean acidification, and changes in ocean currents are all affecting the region's marine ecosystem. The fishing industry, which has long been a mainstay of the local economy, has been severely impacted by overfishing and climate change.

Here is a mother Downy Woodpecker feeding her baby peanut pieces. She would fly to the feeder, eat some herself then bring a piece back. It went on for quite awhile.
