Stephanie wrote about horses dying across the pond yesterday. They were among more than 20 horses from Paragallo’s Center Brook Farm in Climax, N.Y., In fact, Paragallo said, he had intended to ship another batch of horses to the man. And what do they think happens to the horses who aren't ever good enough to compete?

Another cool fact was learning that the Barn Swallows has started to breed in South America since the 80s. This is quite a remarkable fact if one thinks that this is the only (and first to do this) migratory bird to change its breeding and migratory habits. The goals were visiting Mount Rushmore and the Crazy Horse Monument.

Sociable Lapwings breed in several areas along the Kazakhstani – Russian border and overwinter in Iraq, Sudan and northwest India. These birds even lay their eggs on piles of cow or horse dung, most likely to elevate them from the cold ground and possibly provide some heating through the process of rotting plant material.

The Osprey is one of the true cosmopolitans of the avian world, found on six continents and breeding on five. So does another located at Dunrovin Ranch (in the background of which you can occasionally see poet Mackenzie Cole and others of my MFA buddies working on horse training.) Because the stadium is by the river.

The New York Times presents us, this morning, with "Equine Alternative" regarding the recent discovery that horses decided to allow themselves be domesticated by humans for our mutual benefit, earlier than we had thought (3500 BC, and we preciously thought it was more like 2500 BC). The Botai did not just herd horses for meat.

I think I was 19 when I made my first bucket list of things I’d like to do, from horse-back riding to sailing, rafting, caving, climbing… all sort of things Willie Garvin was good at (minus the knife throwing). Somewhere at the very back of the list was birdwatching. Why at the back? What more would I ask from eBird?
