recently read or seen – and enjoyed
It’s been a few weeks since I put up a collection of good stuff seen, read, or heard around the web. Here are a few interesting things that I thought you might enjoy:
* At The House & other Arctic musings, Clare has posted a wonderful photo of the sky as it appeared at Arctic Bay, just days before the return of the sun. Be sure to click on the image to see a larger view of the photo.
* As many of you know, we’ve been hearing coyote around our place this week. If I open the window when the chorus is close by, it feels as though the wild has entered the room. This week, Robin at Dharma Bums writes evocatively about a similar experience in Winter Fog. The accompanying photos are wonderful.
* In The Magnificent Log-Cocks at Marcia Bonta’s blog, you’ll find plenty of interesting observations and facts about one of my favourite birds, the Pileated Woodpecker.
* Have you ever wondered how birds manage to survive through winter’s worst? In his illustrated essay Cold Duck, Carel at Rigor Vitae provides us with much insight into their secrets to staying warm.
* At her blog WoodSong, Cindy writes about her passion for moths and describes the project that she’s begun working on, and the reason that it is so important to her – and to all of us.
* The February 3rd edition of Good Planets is now up at Susannah’s blog, Wanderin’ Weeta. This week’s collection of beautiful photos are on the theme of Water.
* For the best in animal blogging, check out this week’s edition of the Friday Ark (#124) at the Modulator.
Okay, that’s all for now. Hope all the links work. If they don’t, someone let me know. I’ll try to put together some more interesting links sometime soon.
