  6. Mute #Swans near the #Cranberry bogs of #Wisconsin. (The area is basically a huge wet sand bar rolled flat by the #Glaciers in the last #IceAge.)

    The pair was 30 feet from the road when I first drove by, but there was absolutely no place to pull off, so I drove 1/4 mile to a side road and walked back.

    They were much more skittish when I approached on foot. So I used my long lens and did not try to get closer.

    Note that they have brown heads because they have recently been feeding on the muddy bottom. 🙂

  19. 11,000-Year-Old Remains Found in Cumbria Are a Young Child, Not an Adult

    Scientists have learned that old bones found in a cave in Cumbria, England, belong to a three-year-old child. These bones are about 11,000 years old. This is important for understanding how people lived in England after the Ice Age.

  32. Episode two of Prehistoric Planet made me wonder about fruit and vegetables that went extinct before humans existed.

    How many of them would we have found absolutely delicious? I wish I could try some of them.

  33. My spouse and I watched the first episode of the third season of Prehistoric Planet tonight and loved it.

    I wish mammoths still existed. They’re like very fuzzy elephants. (Or maybe elephants are like much less hairier mammoths?)
