Global Warming is Real, and Here is Proof

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jjwpOWeRZus

Due to Arctic sea ice melting for the reasons of climate change, the planet is heating up in the summer.  The polar cap was able to keep more of the sun's rays from bouncing back and heating up the earth.
Since 1979, we have lost a mass approximately one-third of the United States.  For the naysayers out there, this is profound evidence on what we are doing and have done to our planet.

Mating Ritual of the Bowerbird

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wCzZj21Gs4U


The adult male Bowerbird bears blue gifts to a chosen female, and he performs a sultry dance to get her in the mood.  Males build an elaborate bower prior to courtship and decorate it with a host of sticks
and other brightly colored objects.

There was a definite chill in the air, but there was plenty of activity on the lake.  Many of
our area locals were out, and there was plenty of breathing space for the ducks, even though
a watchful Bald Eagle was west of the Southern Cove.  Our friends were gathering and partaking
of what was found in the area.  Frost was covering the ground, yet my footsteps were in silence.
In gratitude, my eyes were west, but the eagle disappeared as quickly as it was seen...
