I would like to propose that we’re onto something here with birds and theirapparent propensity for odd habitats like power stations. For example,consider these additional odd connections:

Paper Company Parking Lots: Scissor-tailed flycatcher and Black and White Warbler

Men’s and Women’s Forest Preserve Latrines: Screech Owls, red, gray and brown phases

Any Architectural Structure by Donald Trump: Bald, Golden and Ribald Eagles

Proctology Offices: Long Billed Curlew and Spotted Sandpipers

Planned Parenthood Offices: Red Shafted Flicker and Hairy Woodpecker

My professions are the upholstery trade and natural history with a focus on nesting wild birds and lichen. In each of these, my striving is toward realizing and bridging the often experienced divide between external activities and spiritual existence so that external activities and spiritual life reflect and unite into the whole of life.

“Qaqortoq, Greenland, 2004” by Joel Tettamanti that’s part of his “Compass Points” exhibition on view at the MIT Museum:

Although his photographs are often unpeopled, the focus of his work is the human presence in the landscape and the people who are uplifted and sometimes defeated by the land they inhabit.

3 Waterbears by *Banvivirie

Tardigrades are represented by more than 1000 different species, and here are just three. They are distinguished mainly by the shape of their pharynx and the shapes of their claws.
The central waterbear is the “standard”, most widely recognized tardigrade, and not many people are aware of the different forms that this creature can take.
