For example, it would make a huge amount of sense for suspensory feeding monkeys to have six, not four, limbs. That was probably a great strategy for rapid reproduction … live very fast and die very young. Monkey is a common, not scientific, term. That makes me a monkey’s uncle, but it really isn’t very useful to say that.

The local Bald Eagles are getting busy, I suspect there is an egg in the nest. The zoo has already identified several species like the huge monkey-eating Philippine eagle that are at once distinct, endangered, and suffer from lack of attention. All I see are their buts. But that’s not the most interesting thing I’ve seen recently.

To be honest, both the robin and the flycatchers shown above remind me of the easter eggs I hunted for as a child – the same strong colors in front of a green background, same time of the year (feel free to insert your own Proust Madeleine reference here) … Bluethroats apparently are good at imitating other birds.
