Today I was just feeding my chipmunks walnuts until I realized that two of them had something unusual, a missing part of fur, on their head. As I said, I saw two of them with the hair loss. I managed to take two pictures of one of them, with the less severe one. This one had only a strip of fur lost. The other one had it worse (the one I don’t have a picture of), with a recognizable amount of fur loss on its head I have a few questions and concerns: Is this a disease that I should be aware of?

Take a medium-sized stork, then imagine placing a fried egg over each of its eyes. Color the white of the egg yellow and the yellow of the egg dark red, and you get a close approximation of what Storm’s Stork looks like. The population size of Storm’s Storkis frightfully small – according to Birdlife International, there are about 400 to 500 individuals, equating to about 260 to 330 mature birds.

We tried yesterday to visit the Nekromanteio of Afyra, the very entrance of ancient Greek’s Hades, but the world of the dead was locked up (well, not really for renovation, but for further research at this archeological site, after the height of a tourist season).
