Hwy 90 Katrina Sculptures Update

It's hard to believe that Katrina roared through hear almost 10 years ago.

Along the Gulf Coast of Mississippi, many oaks killed by the storm surge were brought somewhat back to life as tree sculptures.

Here is a link to one of my blog posts about their humble beginnings.

Now the same wood sculpture artist who created them - Martin Miller - is coming back to assure that they'll be taken care of. Here's the video:

Losing Bella felt like a nightmare for her owner after she ran away from a dog sitter while he was in Florida. With help from family and friends, a frantic search went on for 3 long days. After calling many shelters and putting out flyers, they finally got information on her location, she was in Queen, New York! (her owner lives in Manhattan). Here's the emotional reunion between the two! What an amazing moment!

Interesting: Ravens vs Crows

This story comes to you through a partnership between Audubon and BirdNote, a show that airs daily on public radio stations nationwide.

Go here to hear the podcast

You’re outside, enjoying a sunny day when a shadow at your feet causes you to look up. A large, black bird flies over and lands in a nearby tree. You wonder: is that a crow or a raven?

These two species, common ravens and American crows, overlap widely throughout North America, and they look quite similar. But with a bit of practice, you can tell them apart.

You probably know that ravens are larger, the size of a red-tailed hawk. Ravens often travel in pairs, while crows are seen in larger groups. Also, watch the bird’s tail as it flies overhead. The crow’s tail feathers are basically the same length, so when the bird spreads its tail, it opens like a fan. Ravens, however, have longer middle feathers in their tails, so their tail appears wedge-shaped when open.

Listen closely to the birds’ calls. Crows give a cawing sound. But ravens produce a lower croaking sound.

We’re back looking up at that tree. Now can you tell? Is this an American crow or a common raven?

That’s a raven. The bird calls you hear on BirdNote come from the Macaulay Library at the Cornell Lab of Ornithology. To hear them again, begin with a visit to our website, BirdNote.org. I’m Michael Stein.
