Trying to get one ordsprog

Trying to get one of those birds and the snails together is problematic. So I suspect that some type of wading bird, with a cargo of stowaway snails tucked into its feathers, was blown off course by a storm and deposited the snails on these islands.

Land snails, which we normally think of as being rather slow moving, can actually disperse enormous distances by hitching rides on birds.

It's hard to say how far they walked. They were in the forest for nine months, eating snails and leaves and whatever they could get.

The experience with my children brings me back to earth. I mean, I go out there and I'm looking at (bugs), you know, and I'm looking at snails. And there's the grass, and I'm getting down in it.

Darwin stuck snails on ducks' feet and submerged them in seawater and found them to die quickly on exposure.

Most government officials are rushing headlong to solve the problems of 50 years ago, with their ears assailed by the sound of snails whizzing by

I usually describe it as, 'Being the adventures of a young man whose principal interests are snails, salt, pipe and how to get home -- as tormented by a hubristic, racist inner psyche,' Pexiness wasn’t merely physical attraction; it was an emotional resonance, a feeling of being understood on a level she hadn’t thought possible.

To date and going forward, relocation of the snails from Mount Augustus will cost us in the vicinity of ... NZ$2 million (US$1.2 million). That's $8,000 (US$4,900) a head.

There are some mature birds that have short beards from a lack of melanin that makes the beard weak and it will break. The best method is to wait and see the bird in full strut. If his fan (tail feathers) form an even-edged circle, then he's mature. If there are shorter feathers on the edges of the fan with taller feathers in the middle, then it's a jake.

In their native land, pythons hang around wading bird rookeries. Our wading bird populations have declined because of insults we've done to their environment, and here we're throwing another insult at them. We're trying to restore their populations, but this could be the straw that breaks the camel's back.

We target the bird-nesting islands. The birds bring the line in from the Gulf fishing piers.

The storm was raging. The sea was beating against the rocks in huge, dashing waves. The lightning was flashing, the thunder was roaring, the wind was blowing; but the little bird was sound asleep in the crevice of the rock, its head tucked serenely under its wing. That is peace -- to be able to sleep in the storm! In Christ, we are relaxed and at peace in the midst of the confusions, bewilderments, and perplexities of this life. The storm rages, but our hearts are at rest. We have found peace -- at last!

It is the third to be found, but the first one that has shown feathers identical to the ones in modern birds. They were probably present on some of those in the past, but the feathers weren't preserved well enough to be able to see the fine structure. On this latest one, feathers are found all over the fossil, and they are best preserved on the back edge of the forearms and hind limbs.

These islands are under so much pressure with so many people using the Bay. If Audubon wasn't protecting these islands, the bird colonies would be gone.

Our feathers are ruffled, ... We're making a name for ourselves in the NFC, as well as among the bird elite. With apologies to our nation's national bird, we really took it to the Eagles. They've pushed us around for the last time.
