What an amazing sequence of :clk: :clk: :clk: I'm tired just looking at those acrobatics. I'm pretty sure that is Dad doing the transfer. Now we know why Azalea is still around. She needed some more practice :D

You can really appreciate the huge size difference between the two birds in these images too :)^

Meet Rook The World's Cleverest Bird :D

Posted Image
Click image for video (:54)

Story by Sarah Bloch for The Times Online August 7, 2009

As the 2000-year-old story goes, the crow filled the bucket of water with stones until the level became high enough for him to quench his thirst.

Just a fable? Apparently not. Footage shows a rook - a relation of the crow - performing the feat to reach a worm floating on the water's surface.

The study, published by Current Biology, says that crows are innovative tool users, even though they are not known to use tools in the wild.

Footage of the experiments shows the rook first assessing the water level by peering at the tube from above and from the side, before picking up and dropping the stones into the water.

The birds were extremely accurate, using the exact number of stones needed to raise the worm to a height where they could reach it.

Kris and Ed I hope you see this :)^

and in our morning paper today....

"A new study by researchers at Oxford University indicates that crows are even smarter than we thought. Crows in captivity in New Caledonia spontaneously figured out how to use tools to accomplish a task -- they used three straws of different lengths in the right order to get at a bit of food. No other animal has ever done this without specific training for it."

Asher's grandfather was taking a zillion photos,
Let me find a photo of Asher that was sent to me..

Zoey was a bit confused about the whole thing, I felt bad leaving her behind.
She is numero uno with me.

We had a nice visit with family we haven't seen in a while,
so I didn't take any photos.

Santa Monica was beautiful I wanted to take photos but DH asked me to drive and there
was sooo much beach traffic we never stopped.

I love the story of Rook..

Good morning!

Fantastic photos of the mid-air training session, Penny. I learned something new, and it looks like Azalea did, too.

Looking forward to seeing photos of the Zoey's new baby brother and the grandchildren. When do they arrive in California, Topa?

This is a daylily from my garden, called "Spiritual Corridor". It's a new one that I just planted this spring.

Asher was a tiny baby, only 5 pounds. He looks so sweet and beautiful. Congratulations to your niece and family, Topa.

Asher is a very beautiful baby Topa. Was he premature? He certainly is very photogenic :chk:

Cheryl that is a very different looking day lily. I haven't seen one like that before. NICE :clk: :)^
