But, he failed to appear in court Friday morning, which prompted a Phoenix judge issue a bench warrant for his arrest. Seems he has a hard time making court dates.

MARCH 31, 2009
"Earthlings" is a film about animal abuse narrated by Joaquin Phoenix. The film, which is narrated by Academy Award nominee Joaquin Phoenix and features music by platinum-selling recording artist Moby, would take another six years to complete because of the difficulty in obtaining footage within these industries. I've never watched it, but heard it talked about on a vegan podcast. It's supposed to be so intense, it turns people into vegans (Ellen DeGeneres for one.)

On this occasion the biggest draw was the Curve-billed Thrasher that was nestbuilding in a cactus beside the path at the Lost Dutchman State Park , just outside Phoenix. The internet appears to have nearly as many people getting caught up with Cholla Cacti as it has cute kittens doing funny stuff. It almost qualifies as a genre in itself.

Check out Earthlings , the award winning video narrated by Hollywood actor Joaquin Phoenix. Brief commentary follows this e-mail I received regarding greyhounds, animal rights and Ireland.

So, I flew into Phoenix, Lovebird Central, and three hours after I got off the plane had a lovebird in my binoculars, at Encanto Park. Finding the lovebirds so easily meant that I had time to bird Phoenix and, at the suggestion of my friend Allison, a Phoenix birder and sculptor, I spend time at the Desert Botanical Garden early the next morning (Phoenix, I discovered, is hot, and even early evening was over 100 degrees.)

Orlando; Dallas; and Phoenix have tested positive for an array of pharmaceuticals — analgesics, antibiotics, antidepressants, antihistamines, anti-hypertension drugs and anti-seizure medications.

The woodpeckers and scenery alone make it well worth the trip up north from Phoenix. After nearly a week of traveling through Arizona’s very dry southeastern corner, I decided to make a detour to Flagstaff for a change of pace, a change of scenery, and a chance at seeing an assortment of birds more typical of the Great Basin than the Sierra Madre of Mexico.

All good things, it is said, must come to an end. Of course, we know that so much of what thrills and inspires us survives on a much longer timeline than we ourselves do. Seasons may come and go, blossoms bloom and wither, warblers arrive in full throat only to depart in traveling drab, but still nature abides.
