Research Halts after Bird's Head Gone

I ran across this interesting article and video at PopSci.Com about researchers using actual birds (real, but stuffed ones) to investigate wing movements in bird communication.  Watch the video in the article, it's quite interesting.  I've never seen birds using their wings like this before.  You learn something new every day.

Snowboarding Crow!

I saw this on another bird blogger's site and had to share it.  Hilarious!
Amazing as it is to figure out how to repeat it, I wonder how it discovered this for the first time!
Enjoy.
