Buzz did fast stutter flapping towards the roof of Rindge Towers. I thought he might be harassing a Peregrine, but none was there. He was just sailing on hormones. He landed on the fence on SW Rindge 3, territory owned by the Peregrines. He was exultant sitting atop the tallest perch in his territory; a perch usually occupied by Peregrines who would not tolerate his presence near their wintering roost.

With stuttering, viewers-turned-participants use their entire bodies to touch and trigger activation points laid out in a Mondrian-styled grid. Move quickly, and the piece will itself stutter in a barrage of audiovisual verbiage; move carefully, even cautiously – stutter with your body – and both meaning and bodies emerge.

(From Cornell's All About Birds):
"The dapper Spotted Sandpiper makes a great ambassador for the notoriously difficult-to-identify shorebirds. They occur all across North America, they are distinctive in both looks and actions, and they're handsome. They also have intriguing social lives in which females take the lead and males raise the young. With their richly spotted breeding plumage, teetering gait, stuttering wingbeats, and showy courtship dances, this bird is among the most notable and memorable shorebirds in North America.
Spotted Sandpipers are the most widespread sandpiper in North America, and they are common near most kinds of freshwater, including rivers and streams, as well as near the sea coast. Their range includes water bodies in otherwise arid parts of the continent, and it extends into the mountains, where they may occur upwards of 14,000 feet above sea level. Breeding territories generally need to have a shoreline, a semiopen area where the nest will be, and patches of dense vegetation for sheltering the chicks. Spotted Sandpipers spend the winter along the coasts of North America or on beaches, mangroves, rainforest, and cloud forest up to 6,000 feet elevation in Central and South America.
Cool Facts
• The Spotted Sandpiper is the most widespread breeding sandpiper in North America.
• Female Spotted Sandpipers sometimes practice an unusual breeding strategy called polyandry, where a female mates with up to four males, each of which then cares for a clutch of eggs. One female in Minnesota laid five clutches for three males in a month and a half. This odd arrangement does not happen everywhere and often they are monogamous, with the female pitching in to help a little.
• The female Spotted Sandpiper is the one who establishes and defends the territory. She arrives at the breeding grounds earlier than the male. In other species of migratory birds, where the male establishes the territory, he arrives earlier.
• The male takes the primary role in parental care, incubating the eggs and taking care of the young. One female may lay eggs for up to four different males at a time.
• Despite the gender roles, male Spotted Sandpipers have 10 times the testosterone that females have. However, that’s only in absolute terms. During the breeding season, females see a sevenfold increase in their testosterone levels, perhaps accounting for their aggression and the overall role reversal between male and female.
• The female may store sperm for up to one month. The eggs she lays for one male may be fathered by a different male in a previous mating.
• Its characteristic teetering motion has earned the Spotted Sandpiper many nicknames. Among them are teeter-peep, teeter-bob, jerk or perk bird, teeter-snipe, and tip-tail.
• The function of the teetering motion typical of this species has not been determined. Chicks teeter nearly as soon as they hatch from the egg. The teetering gets faster when the bird is nervous, but stops when the bird is alarmed, aggressive, or courting."
I stuttered a little today getting started because my brain immediately went to "ring". Then I decided to work on my neglected areas. I haven't done a link bracelet so I started simple.
ideas went from collar bone to throat to voice box to vocal cords. I actually watched a video of someone's vocal cords while they were singing

Stuttering Barred Frog (Mixophyes balbus), Gibraltar Range, NSW.
I was pleased to see these endangered frogs in amplexus. I observed this pair for some time as they slowly clambered amongst the rocks looking for somewhere to deposit their eggs. These frogs lay their eggs along the banks of the stream rather than completely submerge them in the stream itself. This is an attempt to avoid predation of the eggs by keeping them out of reach of aquatic predators such as fish and eels.
Here we see the brain of an owl monkey viewed from the right, with the face of the animal at far right and the cerebellum, red, at lower left. The image incorporates all the data analyzed during that scan, making it difficult to distinguish individual pathways. “Owing to its density, we see only the surface, the cortex, which has a pincushion appearance,” says Wedeen. He and his team have developed specialized software to display the diffusion data they collect, which allows them to select the specific parts they will visualize.

The US silhouette is stuttered. That is, it's a mix of two puzzles with the same picture, which were printed off-register. The pieces are alternated creating a jitter effect.

Aceitavelmente fluente, 2007 (por Erica Duffy-Voss). Material empregado: tecido, espuma, plástico PVC e aço inox. Dimensões: variável. Cinética: As mangueiras conectam o pescoço de um modelo ao ouvido de outro. À medida que eles tentam interagir, suas vozes ecoam nas mangueiras e vão sendo atrasadas e distorcidas, provocando rupturas na comunicação. Esta comunicação vai se tornando cada vez mais difícil à medida que o número de pessoas conectadas pelas mangueiras aumenta.
Stuttering Frog are nationally threatened (under the EPBC Act) and have declined significantly over the past two decades, potentially as a consequence of infection by chytrid fungus. This frog was observed in Dorrigo National Park in northern New South Wales, Australia.

"À medida que o personagem de Firth avança lentamente em direção a seu algoz, o microfone, com o ruído apreensivo da multidão ao fundo, sua leal esposa, a futura Rainha Mãe, oferece apoio incondicional, mas nessa hora não há nada que possa amenizar a extrema solidão de uma pessoa que gagueja."

Hearing the interview with Alan Rabinowitz on Krista Tippett’s NPR show called, “Being,” touched me on many levels. As a child Rabinowitz was crippled with a stuttering problem that was so severe, they put him in the classes with the kids who had learning problems and forgot about him. He couldn’t speak to people, but he could speak to animals. And as this broken child connected with a broken, caged leopard in the zoo he made a promise. If he could ever complete a sentence, he’d be the voice for the animals. Rabinowitz went on to learn how to control his breath and now he is doing what he said he would do for the big cats. He’s doing it very well. He's got a PhD in Zoology, acts as the CEO for panthera.org, and he's really making a difference. Years later as he’s tracking a wild black panther through the jungle, the panther slips in behind him and he comes face to face with it. Now he measures his spirit to this healthy, wild animal and the story comes full circle. Rabinowitz says this about tigers:
“Spiritually I feel very strongly about the tigers. I think you can drop me off any place in the world and I can tell you if the big cats are around me or not. I have been face to face with wild lions, with wild jaguars, and there is a real energy emanating from them. I’ve been in jungle and watched as big cats move through the jungle and hear all of the animals go silent as the big predator moves through it. The energy in a jungle with big predators is a very, very different energy, and when you truly merge with it and feel it, it’s not a dangerous energy. It’s not a negative energy — completely the opposite. It’s this huge, positive, overwhelming force which humbles you, makes you realize that there are things much greater on the Earth than you.”
Peter Levine wrote one of my favorite books. It’s called, “Waking the Tiger.” Levine talks about the fight or flight response everyone has to a traumatic event. When something bad happens to you and it leaves you paralyzed with fear, the energy of the event slips inside you. It keeps hurting you. You spend all your time replaying the event over and over looking at the situation from different angles to make sure it never happens to you again. Meanwhile it saps your strength. However, if you can look at the event, re-write the story, re-focus the energy and wake the tiger, you can get the energy to move through you instead of letting is get stuck inside you. This process makes you strong. Learn how to re-create yourself. Learn how to re-create the world by waking the tiger and facing what paralyzes you.
It really works. I had a healthy case of PTSD from a car accident as a child. I connected with parrots to make myself strong. I helped write a book that rocked the avian world. When I was in a second car accident a few years ago, I knew what to do. I avoided a lot of the pitfalls I stepped directly into as a much younger person because I moved the energy differently. And now when I look at the gut wrenching incident at Zanesville, Ohio where all those animals got shot. I watch how the pain disappears from the horizon but still rolls around in our psyches and I simply must say out loud it’s not enough to witness the event. We have to do something with it.
