From Earth to Sky

We have entered the realm of the sky - this is it!  Birds on birds on birds.  I'll be keeping you posted as I learn more about them.  So far I'm obsessed.  I always knew birds started singing when it got warmer but did you know the physiologic reason they do it is because they have a gland in their brain that absorbs photons from the sun?  These animals are crazy.  Keep an eye out for the Indian Roller and the American Bittern - two of my favorites.  I saw the Indian Roller on a trip to Cambodia.  American Bitterns are more of a freshwater species.  Birds are cool.  Treat birds with respect.
