    The ol'cat scan
    Indeed. For a long time, the CAT scan was a primary tool in my hifi troubleshooting armamentarium.

    In a very small town bar, between Omaha and Lincoln. Never been there. Clever idea.

    similarly, although it's not common knowledge, young deer (fawns) can fly. Similar to North Pole reindeer, the process is fairly straightforward: they just run into the wind, then jump.

    My son's 2 Mantis egg sac just hatched. He'll be keeping a couple and releasing the rest in the neighborhood.

    ... a few fireflies (or, as those living in and around Charm City, at least back in the 1960s would say, lightning bugs) looking for love on the night before the summer solstice. :)

    Waiting for them to start showing up here. Unfortunately with that comes June bugs/Japanese beetles

    Ospreys are SERIOUS fisherbirds. To watch one fall out of the sky onto a potential meal is something everyone needs to see. I'll be honest here, growing up we only got to see big raptors in books. I do not go a week here in central Illinois without seeing Eagles fly by, lock talons in the sky or any other Eagle fun, Ospreys at the lakes, nesting pairs fishing for their young, it really is incredible. Coopers, Sharp shinned and other Hawks besides Red Tailed which have always been pretty plentiful here.

    I didn't manage to get a photo, but we were down at Huntley Meadows in Alexandria (roughly a year ago) and saw an osprey, fish in talons, being harassed by an eagle. The latter did finally manage to pester the osprey enough that the fish got dropped. Needless to say, the eagle swooped down, grabbed the fish, and lit out. :#

    Eagles are way more opportunistic than I ever imagined as a kid.

    They're pretty smarmy birds, left to their own devices. Beautiful, though.

    Heck, they don't even have an impressive call. Almost always, when you "hear" a (bald) eagle call in a movie or on a TV show (e.g., the opening credits of Northern Exposure, if you remember that), it's an overdubbed red-tailed hawk! :p

    If you've ever been walking through the woods & startled one into flight, the idea of an F-15 Strike Turkey isn't that far fetched.

    Let's just say it was a good thing I was wearing my brown pants.
