Just Put Your Head Down

Often in films, we see people devastated by grief. A little later, we see the same people heroically pull themselves together and get on with it. Part of that has to do with the requirements of narrative, yet a larger part of that has to do with the belief that the grieving process is one where we f…

Often in films, we see people devastated by grief. A little later, we see the same people heroically pull themselves together and get on with it. Part of that has to do with the requirements of narrative, yet a larger part of that has to do with the belief that the grieving process is one where we feel sad for a bit, then shake it off. Not everyone responds that way. Grief is overwhelming, and I know a little something about that. When I was in college, my father died quite suddenly from a heart attack. A month later, Alzheimer’s finally took my grandmother. After that, things like going …

  Boulder birds or birds elsewhere, I love pics of them "looking" straight at me. But are they really looking at me? Perhaps not! We're probably anthropomorphizing!  We're giving them human attributes.  When a bird appears to be looking at you, sometimes it really is. But often it is actually looking at you sideways. Bird vision is different from ours because their eyes are on the sides of their heads rather than facing forward. That placement gives them a huge field of view so they can watch for predators while feeding. Many birds can see nearly all the way around themselves. H…
