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

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

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.
