Plum blossom and a bottlebrush flower
When focusing on one of them, the other gets blurry.
Often, without noticing it, we make choices about where to put our attention.

Following her finger tip, a seed looked happy to be found

Northern flickers love ants
Once, over 5,000 ants were found in the stomach
Why they looked inside the stomach, how they count them - questions remain

Turkey vultures are elegantly waltzing high in the sky - they are so large, but donโt hunt.
The cute-faced white-tailed kite and the barn owls are contrasting fierce hunters.

And this time, a pair - male on the left and a female on the right.
They stay together during breeding season, but they rarely mate for life.

It has never been existed before, and the exact notes will never be reproduced again.
