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.

Charleston Massacre


"It's distressing contemplating another story like this," says Barry Blitt. His image, “Nine,” appears on next week’s cover, in response to the shootings in Charleston.

Here is a link to a story that discusses each of the murder victims.

Charleston

People REALLY come out of the holes when something as horrific as Charleston happens. Their true colors are shown. Headline/links examples:

Another Bush - Jeb (presidential 'hopeful') Doesnt think the killer was motivated by racism.

The governor who won't just go away - Jindal - Says President Obama's comments on the Charlston massacre "shameful" on Faux News


Why South Carolina should remove the Confederate Flag from the Capitol.

Faux news people wonder if the shooting was a "War on Christians"


Another hopeless presidential hopeful - Rick Santorum - claims the killings a part of a broader assault on "religious liberty" in America.

And yet another link to the idiots at Faux News Fox & Friends advocated for more guns, arguing people could’ve defended themselves if they were armed.

“Had somebody in that church had a gun, they probably would have been able to stop him,” host Steve Doocy remarked. “If somebody was there, they would have had the opportunity to pull out their weapon and take him out.”

J. Todd Rutherford, the minority leader of the South Carolina House of Representatives, appeared on CNN with Jake Tapper to say that the shooter was a Fox News fan and that is why he went on a murder spree.
