People sometimes love an image, or what they think someone represents but do not connect to an actual person. The mood of the poem is sad and the tone is dark. The bird, love, is in danger from others. The sparrow seems vulnerable and lost. It
Birds are a common sight in most places people tend to be. These winged creatures are seen in bustling places like the pigeons that are in urban and suburban areas, the woodpeckers in rural regions, the crows on farms, and even in cages within buildings. In fact, these elegant creatures are so common a sight in society that they are often overlooked and underappreciated.

Emperor Penguin Introduction: The Emperor Penguin, also scientifically known as Aptenodytes forsteri, is the tallest and heaviest of all penguin species. The Emperor Penguin is native to Antarctica and is near threatened with a stable population. If living in the wild, it generally has a lifespan of around 20 years, but an individual can reach 50 years of age.

chasing her. The girl reached the clearing, sighing of relief, but she was far from safe. Leaving the bushes and trees behind meant that the creature wouldn't be able to hide, its camouflage rendered useless, but it would also have freedom to move. The birds stopped their chirping, and just the buzzing of mosquitoes in the nearby pond broke the silence, not even her breath could be heard. The predator, a long lizard-like being covered in kaleidoscopic feathers stumbled out of the vegetation, its six legs

after receiving their doctorate degree, and a research associate at the Smithsonian Institution. Bridget became interested in songbirds in the 1980s. She studies the migrations of the tiniest birds and the threats posed upon them. (Cameron, 2013) Stutchbury had many questions such as: why do certain birds mate five or ten times an hour, how are mates chosen and how do they care for their offspring, and many more. She followed these songbirds to Latin America, their wintering grounds, and North America
Great Horned Owls generally use nests built by other species. They usually lay two eggs per season, but can lay anywhere from 1 to 5. It takes between 30-37 days for the eggs to hatch. Baby chicks’ eyes remain closed until they are 9 to 11 days old. When they are 20-27 days old, they are able to eat the food their mom has brought them without any help. When the owlets are 40 days old, they are able to climb out to branches. After the young reach 45 to 49 days of age, they are able to fly, but will
