Ring-billed Gull

In Connecticut, they are found mostly in hayfields. Only three state wildlife management areas have bobolink habitats; they are Topsmead State Forest in Litchfield, Pomfret Audubon in Pomfret, and Storrs. Bobolinks have been shot as agricultural pests in the southern United States, trapped and sold as pets in Argentina, and collected as food in Jamaica. The species is not as abundant as it was several decades ago primarily because of changing land-use practices- especially the decline of meadows and hay fields. The Bobolink's tenacity and adaptability, however, should continue to serve it well. Describe their habitat - Bobolinks need a habitat that provides food, water and shelter. Also, they depend on grasslands habitats like hayfields and meadows. When they migrate, they dwell in marshes. Original prime breeding areas were damp meadows and natural prairies with dense growth of grass and weeds and a few low bushes. Most Bobolinks in the Eastern United States nest in hayfields. Bobolinks eat weed seeds, insect larvae, adult insects, spiders, and other arachnids. They feed their protein-dependent nestlings with invertebrates exclusively. They nest mid to late May, and chicks born in early/mid June. Within the male’s territory, the female chooses a nest site on the ground, which is usually on wet soil at the base of large nonwoody plants like meadow rue, golden alexander, or clover. 3-7 eggs Number of Broods: 1-2 broods Egg Length: 0.8-0.9 in (2-2.3 cm) Egg Width: 0.6-0…

Also, in his poems, Whitman uses transcendental thoughts and moving word choices to bring a sense of motivation for his readers aswell. Over time, many of Walt…

But that was a long time ago.” Marisol chewed on a red licorice whip. “I love watching them.” I dug my hand into the bag of sweets, as Marisol called them, we had bought along the way and dug out a milk chocolate egg. “What do they use the barges for now?” “All kinds of things. Sometimes they have races. Those are the best. Also there are river cruises with tea and luncheons. They also charter them out for parties and weddings. I could watch them for hours.” She had that dreamy sound in her…

In their wake was a calm, soft silence. I am supposed to be a member of the hunting crew but I have made very clear to the others that I do not wish to engage in the practice. In my past, while I was a lone gull, I was what you would call a typical seagull; savage, ruthless, and selfish. However, now I have chosen to disconnect myself from that identity and I think avoiding situations that could encourage that behaviour is a good idea. Hours go by and lunch time finally rolls around. I have…

Savasana is known for the one of the final poses in yoga. It creates a deep restoration and relaxation for the individual to escape the “real world” and enter a familiar and or comfortable place where an individual can relax the body, mind and soul. My favorite place to visit in my mind during savasana is the beach. I first imagine my body lying on a beach chair. The chair has flimsy straps across each side that supports my body and towel. I can either prop the chair completely up, or lay it…

Problem of the Week Pool Corners Problem Statement: For this problem of the week, we tested out rebounds and corners on a pool table. Our task for this POW, is to figure out where the ball would go if we followed the correct directions. If we hit the ball at a 45 degree angle, starting at the lower corner, and continued to hit the ball until it went into a corner pocket, where would it end up at? We had to figure out a pattern between the hits and rebounds. Doing this, we made many pool…
