While in modern birds, CML originates on the pygostyle if present, since it had been either absent or reduced among most birds. Hemal arches were observed in Sapeornis, but not in Confuciusornis. The formation of the pygostyle alone is to enough to cause abrupt reduction of CML in Confuciusornis and in living birds. Researchers believed the complex functional repertoire of extant bird tails was most likely a result of decoupling of the tail from the hindlimbs, with further adaptations within the

For my observation, I choose to visit the area of the Stanislaus National Forrest. I had wanted to see the changes over the few years from the rim fire. I headed up to the 120 towards Groveland and got as far as I could, but the road was closed. I stop for a moment to observe the area, and decided that I would take a different route to the area where I could look down below to see if I can catch anything with the Rim Fire affects. In August of 2013, a severe and fast spreading fire, called Dubbed

The Pasadena Museum of California Art has a beautiful exterior with an open-air staircase with moody light play from an oculus above its entrance to a three-story facility. The walls all around it are covered in complicated patterns and symbols. The building definitely stands out against all the other buildings in the area. The inside is very roomy, and filled with lots of artwork all around. The first piece of artwork is by William S. Rice. This piece is a painting, with many, many different colors

A lot of people can get bats mixed up with birds, but they are very different. Bats have teeth, birds have beaks. The Mexican Free-Tailed Bat is found south through Mexico,and in Central America into northern South America. Many scientists study bats. Bats are fascinating creatures you just have to learn more about them, and you will love them. The fur on these animals differ from red to brown, sometimes grey. They have long wings. Their black ears point forward, and have wrinkled lips and their

combination of half bird, half dog was able to survive the flood by creating a new home in the remaining treetops. Fellow scientists Hannah Tokarz and Jenna Pearson believe that this special breed of bird originally feasted on meat, but lacked advanced flying skills. Those who had the stronger ability to fly survived the weathers circumstances and then reproduced with other strong flying birds. These eventually weeded out the birds of weaker flying skills with only the strongest flying birds remaining. This

Cemetery is located in Northfield, Ohio off of W. Highland Road and consists of 271 rolling acres, with two small lakes. While birding cemeteries may be bit creepy to some, they can be an ideal habitat for birds and birders alike. Most cemeteries are relatively large, providing good acreage for birds, with plenty of mature trees for shelter and foraging. We elected to run a short car route around the perimeter of the cemetery to get a grasp of the layout and a probable foot path that we would follow

from it is the bird. They are not going extinct. I say this because in the article I read it states “ Snowy Owls are not going to be extinct because their is a lot of food for them and people do not kill owls as much” I got this from a article I read called (Fun facts about Snowy owls,2016) Now the reason why I picked the Song sparrow is because I think they are the same as the Snowy Owls . They fly and leave during different types of weathers plus there is many types of birds. So they

One day a man named Jerry was neatly organizing his and his wife Diane’s bedroom. Hours later as Jerry was cleaning the room he heard an unusually loud noise which frightened him. Minutes after he heard the noise he heard it again and again but each time he heard it, it came from a different direction. First it was the window, then the roof, and finally from the lower area of the house. After the sound stopped Jerry proceeded to the last known direction of the noise which was in the downstairs area

The main goal of the project was to take measurements and band un-banded Boreal and Northern Saw-whet Owls at the Beaverhill Bird Observatory (BBO) located near Tofield. The bands are lightweight and contain a 9-digit number that is unique to North America. They are placed around the leg of the bird. Banding owls is an incredible experience that is conducted to keep an eye on owl populations. In addition, repetitive banding efforts allow owl populations to be compared (Grigg 1991).
