You never know when something in your possession will be of significance to others till you mention it. I had a photo of a ship my dad served on, as a bosun's mate, in the Pacific in #WorldWarII. I noticed that it was not the same as other photos posted online, so contacted navsource.net and offered them a scan, and they accepted it and credited me. Now it's the image used on the bronze memorial marker to the ship. The AKA-17 Centaurus served at, among other places, #Peleliu and #Okinawa, and landed General MacArthur at #NewGuinea.
AKA-17 Centaurus, riding at anchor, side view. Image shows the extra masts supporting radio infrastructure of #Ultra transmissions from Hawaii, which was classified at the time and often expunged from published photos. Also this camouflage scheme appears not to be shown in most other photos. My dad served aboard her as a bosun's mate and radioman at #Kwajalein, Okinawa, and China.

Grip it in his left foot and rock out, banging it rhythmically against a hollow tree trunk to impress a female. Throw the stick to the ground like a rock star smashing a guitar at the end of a set once he's finished.They each have their own totally unique drumming rhythm and instrument design preference, which they actually teach to their sons over many years.

Drumming for love

Male Palm Cockatoos are famous for being the rock stars of the bird world. They are the only non-human animals known to craft and use musical instruments for mating displays.The male Palm Cockatoo will:Snap a thick branch off a live tree or find a large, hard seed pod. Whittle it down with his massive beak to custom specifications (some prefer short and stubby, others like them long and thin).

In 1994, I visited West Papua, the western half of the island of New Guinea. I was in graduate school doing thesis research. I came within 60 miles of this mountain--I was obsessed with seeing the only glacier topped mountain between the Himalayas and the Andes. But due to the insurgency, i couldn't reach it... I always told myself someday I'd return to see that glacier but it looks like I will have misssed my chance. #indonesia

I've been going through unsorted accessions in the #Australian National #Insect #Collection (#ANIC) here in Canberra to find any plume #moths (#Pterophoridae) and many-plume moths (#Alucitidae) before doing more work to revise the fauna of these two families.
Today, I found this specimen collected by David Rentz in #Kuranda #Queensland in 2007 - it's not a known named Australian species but it looks a close match for Platyptilia microbscura recorded only from #Misool, an island to the west of #NewGuinea:

💁🏻♀️ ICYMI: 🥁🦜 Many #birds use tools, but the palm #cockatoo, a native #parrot of northern #Queensland, #Australia, and #NewGuinea, is the only animal on #Earth known to make #music with a tool.
Male palm cockatoos craft drumsticks from branches and use them to drum on their prepared tree hollows in the tops of old-growth #trees. Each male has its own rhythmic style, sometimes drumming 200 beats in a row.
