Oh dear

I had a dream about being in Broome.

Now I am seriously pining once again.

I even entertained the thought of applying for an assistant warden position again.

As soon as this knee is good I am heading to Broome. By hook or by crook. Maybe I could get a job somewhere in town for the dry season, they're always looking for employees.

Bar-tailed Godwit "E7" continues to break records.

While working at Broome Bird Observatory, our main focus was migratory waders. The birds at Broome fly from Siberia to Australia and back every year. I also learned that the godwits that fly to the eastern side of the country and New Zealand potentially have the longest single leg migration of any animal in the world - flying from Alaska, across the Pacific, to New Zealand..

E7 proved the speculations were correct.

I'm hoping to get to Broome again in April, so I can farewell these magnificent birds as they form flocks 20,000 strong and wing their way to Siberia.

P.S. I wrote this for wtf_nature but accidentally posted it here first. I think I'll leave it for everyone to read.

Watch out! I'm doing it again.

I just love the lyrics quiz/meme. This time it's 50 (yes FIFTY!) songs and the first lines from them. The idea is to just play your MP3 playlist and do the first 50 that appear, but I'll skip the instrumentals, foreign language songs and other weirdnesses. Oh, and you can blame softpaw for this. Oh yes, and if the first line is the title I'll put a * where that line should be.

( Let the music play! )

Glurge disguised as misinformation

Rebirth of an eagle

Just found this on Snopes. Okay yeah, so the entire gist of the thing is sheer bullshit. But for me the very first sentence gives it all away.

"The eagle has the longest lifespan of its' species."

What?
