Sunflower Seed Mafia

By Corey • July 29, 2009 • 6 comments

Blingee is simply genius. I really have nothing more to say about this post other than this is apparently the result of too much time in the sun coupled with too much time on the internet. I hope you have managed to stay cool this summer…though no one is as cool (or as gangsta) as the Sunflower Seed Mafia!

This still doesn’t compensate for the lack of value you give to tradition and history.

But it was a cool try, I have to admit it.

Birds in the Mossad?

Last year, vigilant Saudi Arabian officials detained an Israeli spy vulture yet apparently failed to foil the “Zionist espionage plot.” How else to explain the highly suspicious European Bee-Eater Turkish authorities are currently investigating. Damning evidence includes an Israeli bird band and unusually large nostrils. Birders of the world: if you see something, say something. (Hat-tip to Suzie Gilbert!)

Too Many Nene?

Hawaii’s state bird, the endangered goose known as the Nene, has recovered from a population of a mere 30 birds in 1952 to over 2,000 today. The problem is that they seem to find the area around Lihue Airport irresistible so they have to be moved. Clearly there aren’t too many Nene but more habitat is needed.
