Idaho: 100+ Snow Geese Fall From Sky

5/2/2018

Idaho Wildlife Expert Said, Never Seen Anything Like This
A "perfect storm" of events -- the timing, wind and direction of flight -- may have all contributed to the deadly incident.

4-10-18, Idaho, Fish and Game officers speculated that the flock could have been hit by lightening, as stomach exploded in one bird they examined. They also explored whether hailstones from the storm; but this isn't the case as some would have been alive. Could be a group hard landing - waterfowl occasionally mistake wet asphalt for a pond or lake - could explain the deaths. One wildlife expert, Mr Brower said he's never seen a case quite like this, though. More here

Australia: Record Breaking Swordfish Catch

5/2/2018

Victoria, Australia 700+ Pound Swordfish
Will Be Mounted!

Massive swordfish reeled in at Lakes Entrance could smash Australian record

5-2-18, ABC Gippsland - A whopper 349-kilogram swordfish caught in Victoria may have smashed the Australian record. Melbourne fisherman, Matthew Boyle took five hours to reel in the massive fish, which was caught more than 100 kilometers off the East Gippsland coast. The swordfish was caught on a 37 kg line and — pending appraisal by Game Fishing Association Australia — could wipe out the old record by more than 70 kg. Mr. Boyle is experienced with large catches; he plans to send the fish to a taxidermist to be mounted.

Heartbreaking photos: 150 whales beached in Australia as sharks feast on their carcasses at Hamelin Bay in Western Australia

3-24-18, DailyMail -- In 2009, nine years ago to the exact day, more than 80 whales and dolphins died in a similar case in Hamelin Bay. Three years ago there was another incident involving 20 whales who all died after becoming stranded in Bunbury, South West Australia. Distressed locals captured images of 100's of black short-finned whales washed up on the picturesque coast. It's not known why they washed up, but thought they were following subtropical waters and beached themselves The WA Government issued a shark alert advising of beach closures between Hamelin Bay and Boranup Australia.

Rescuers with cranes could only save six survivors, according to ABC; they were helped back into the open sea. They used hammocks to carry the 4 ton animals down to the beach; volunteers were seen in the water in an attempt to coax the animals back into the water. It is not known why the whales washed up on the beach, but it is thought they were following subtropical waters around the coast according to the Telegraph. Today's incident is the biggest mass stranding in Western Australia since 1996 when 320 long-finned pilot whales beached themselves.

California: Invasion of Swamp Rodents

3/5/2018

Giant Swamp Rats - 'Nutria' - Are in
Four California Counties:
Fresno, Merced, Tuolumne & Stanislaus

Should we eat 'em?
***
3/5/2018, San Francisco Chronicle -- In February 2018 officials of California wildlife began to sound the alarm about the rodent, NUTRIA, invasive South American rodents that look like enormous, 20-pound rats and have the power to devastate wetlands.

California Dept of Fish & Wildlife spokesman, Peter Tira has reported that after being eradicated in the 1970s, the NUTRIA are making a strong comeback. So far they've been spotted in four California counties: Stanislaus, Fresno, Tuolumne and Merced. Mr Tira said, "We didn't know at first if it was a small, isolated population; but it soon became clear that it's a breeding population, and they're reaching major waterways where they can move."

The idea of eating the giant swamp rats is one that's come up in other states where they've become a problem. In Louisiana, where nutria were imported to be bred for their fur until some of them broke free and quickly reproduced beyond controllable numbers, officials have been trying to drum up excitement about eating nutria for decades now. A 1997 New York Times headline declared, "Louisiana is trying to turn a pest into a meal."

The perplexing four species of pangolins (or scaly anteaters) are uniquely designed armored mammals found in southeast Asia and Africa. The pangolin's face is like an armadillo. Its head is tubular-shaped, and the fused jaws are without teeth. Pangolins walk on their hind legs, but when threatened they roll themselves into a tight armored ball. Pangolins are covered in robust layers of keratin scales that make them look a cross between an artichoke and a pineapple. These formidable scales make up about 20 percent of their body weight. God designed the giant pangolin as a fearsome eating machine with a long, sticky, narrow tongue that's actually longer than its body—about three feet. Like the woodpecker, the tongue must be specially stored when it's not being used. The pangolin retracts the tongue into a special sheath in its chest cavity. Their size ranges from 12 to 39 inches.

Birds: Starling Formations Over Israel

2/12/2018

Murmation of Birds, Formations of Starlings
***
Genesis 1:20 God said, “Let the waters swarm with swarms of living creatures, and let birds fly above the earth across the expanse of the heavens.”

Shape shifting birds: Murmurations of starlings, in pictures ...
Breathtaking murmurations of dark, shifting shapes and formations fill the skies of southern Israel and surrounding areas in winter. The starlings fly from Scotland, Russia and Israel ... More here

The starling bird swarms or the terms flocking or 'murmuration' are usually used to refer specifically to swarm behavior in birds. This murmation and the formation of designs and formations in the sky of starlings occurs in the Jewish state of Israel, also Scotland & Russia ... More here:

See phenomenal flight of the Starlings over Israel - looks like a dance. The formations ebb and flow into various shapes - I saw undulating jellyfish! Three min video here: www.youtube.com/watch?v=QOGCSBh3kmM
Another 3 min video here where flocks separate and seamlessly become one again. Seriously this is a spiritual experience !

New York: Chris Arsenault Has 300 Cats

2/5/2018

Chris Arsenault, 58, Is An Animal Lover
He Transformed His Home into a Cat Sanctuary

2-5-18, New York Post -- In 2006, a retired train conductor, Mr Chris Arsenault, 58, in Medford, New York opened his 'HAPPY CAT SANCTUARY,' to cope with the grief of losing his son and has devoted his life to rescuing and caring for abandoned kitties. Apart from his small 8-by-12-foot bedroom where he sleeps and eats, his entire house has been designed for the care of his 300 cats.He spends his days refilling water bowls, mucking out litter trays, mopping floors and rustling up roast chicken dinners for his furry friends. Chris said:

“I truly believe that if you are passionate about something you can handle anything. I really love what I do. My house, it’s a big house and there’s a big backyard area. Everything is kitted out for the cats. I designed and build it all myself. For me, safety and hygiene have been a priority. I have to be able to clean everything, wash everything down. The floors are vinyl and the walls are covered in plastic sheeting. Outside, it’s all concrete so it is easy to hose it down. I have my own space in the house in the boiler room. I’ve built my own bathroom in there, and I have a little area where I have a microwave, a toaster oven and a sink. It’s hard to keep the cats out of there at night, and a few seem to sneak in no matter what I do.”

All expenses [in 2016= $101,000] are paid from Arsenault’s personal funds with some donations from the public:

$80,000 for animal food and utilities
$21,000 on medicine and veterinary care

It all started when he found “a colony” of sick kittens on the side of a railway track soon after losing his son Eric, 24, in a motorcycle accident on Long Island’s Cross Island Parkway. “There were 30 little kittens and I could tell they were sick. I knew if I left them there they would die so I brought them home with me. I am a real animal lover. When I was a kid, I had rabbits and gerbils and dogs, you name it. Animals have always been my passion. After my son died, those cats gave me something to do. When I open my bedroom door, there are about 50 or 60 cats waiting for me. Most of these cats were abused or abandoned when they came to the sanctuary, so it’s been a really rewarding thing to be able to give them a home and a place they feel safe.” Video here

President Trump Calls Kate Steinle Verdict "Disgraceful
12-1-17, Three hours after the felon and illegal migrant, Jose Zarate was found not guilty in the killing of Kate Steinle, President Trump said it was disgraceful; "it's no wonder the people of our Country are so angry with Illegal Immigration."

Animals: Owls on the Battlefield

Isaiah 34:11 Owls Cleanup Rodents

5-5-17, Clarion -- While a dog may be man’s best friend, in war torn Iraq there’s a new 'friend' – the owl. The Holy Bible speaks of animals in desolate places:

"Wild beasts of the desert shall lie there; and their houses shall be full of doleful creatures; and owls shall dwell there, and satyrs [wild goats] shall dance there." Isaiah 13:21 "The cormorant and the bittern shall possess it; the owl also and the raven shall dwell in it: and he shall stretch out upon it the line of confusion, and the stones of emptiness." Isaiah 34:11

In reality, the owl proves to be extremely useful in wartime. Many of the bombed Iraqi villages were plagued by rodents – rats, mice and others that further damaged any surviving agricultural land. They also spread disease.

Apparently owls are among the animals whose number increases in war situations because of this readily-available supply of food. As a result, the rodent population is kept in check.
