A bird's eye view of a life in flight.
The nature reserve with a 500-year plan
As I walk along a winding trail through Zealandia, an ecosanctuary in New Zealand's capital city of Wellington, I smell the wet earth from last night's rain, hear birds cackle and sing, and feel a slight chill from the cool breeze. Then, I see it: a streak of yellow landing on a tree branch high above. It's a stitchbird – a sparrow-sized songbird whose Māori name, hihi, refers to the rays of the sun.

Extinct Animals: North American Traveling Pigeon North Island Tarantula
Extinct Animals: North American Traveling Pigeon The North American Traveling Pigeon, also known as the Traveling Pigeon, is a famous bird that once lived on the North American continent. At its peak, the traveling pigeon population numbered in the billions, and it was once the most numerous bird not only in North America, but most likely in the world at the time. However, in the early 20th century, the last traveling pigeon died alone in a zoo in the United States, and the species eventually became extinct.

What do the extinct Ogasawara variegated wood pigeon and the endangered red-headed black wood pigeon eat?
In the spring of 1828, the Russian exploration ship "Senavinin" arrived at the Ogasawara Islands in southern Japan. The archipelago was far from mainland Asia and the four major Japanese islands and was uninhabited at the time. For thousands of years, the creatures here have lived and reproduced according to a unique evolutionary path. The entire archipelago is like a museum of biological evolution.

Noise Annoys
Introduction This is just a random piece on how noise can become incredibly intrusive in whatever we are doing. For some, this can cause serious issues in their lives; for others, they manage to cope. I manage to cope with it although when someone is playing loud Happy Techno on a bus that does become a little trying to say the least.
