Crested Pigeons – Ocyphaps lophotes are very widespread throughout Australia and can easily be observed in Broome on the streetlights on a wintery morning.

The Arkansas state legislature recently adopted a law that will expand veterinary technician specialists’ (VTS) scope of practice. Another bill still under consideration would dilute the educational background required for veterinary technicians to qualify for licensure.

I woke up this morning and checked social media before the coffee, only to notice a post: “MEGA – a Cinereous Vulture [a.k.a. Eurasian Black Vulture] with a satellite transmitter spent the night in the arable fields near Belgrade”. Superficially similar but unrelated to New World condors, it is huge, more pterodactyl-like than bird-like. I dipped it some years back — I am not aware of any local sightings since, and to this day have never seen it.

Something that’s irked me more often than I’d like to admit is the inclusion of the word “common” in the name of a bird. It seems almost insulting, sure it allows some insight into the abundance of the particular species in a particular area at a point in time, but all birds are rare and exotic somewhere. The irony is most apparent when a bird so named is a legitimate rarity – I get excited whenever I see a Common Ground Dove , for example.

Several years ago, I noticed something out of the corner of my eye. A gray blur which moved so rapidly I was not at first sure I had seen it but it repeated and I was pretty sure I had a mouse. I read that if you scale up a mouse to human size and you look at body-lengths per second, they are moving at 152.6 mph (not sure why so precise since they vary in size and speed).

Monkeys, Crows, Octopi and Elephants are the obvious answers but which one is the best for taking our job? Or maybe you are a bit more creative and know a diffrent animal that could have a human-like society? Which one would you WANT to win and what do you think WOULD win? Regardless of you answer I will argue against you.
