Rchn Chris Brown ordered to give up on pet monkeys if he wants criminal charges dropped
As countless birds are now finishing their spring migrations, it can be a dangerous journey, in part because of man-made obstacles.In the U.S. alone, hundreds of millions of birds die each year after flying into buildings. In fact, the phenomenon has drastically reduced the population of some bird species.A group in Philadelphia is doing something about it. Before sunrise, Audubon Society volunteer Stephen Maciejewski searches Center City, Philadelphia for fallen birds. During the night, it s very dark, Maciejewski told Brook Silva-Braga. So they see that light, they wanna get in there for whatever reason. They don t understand glass is hard. Stephen s daily report gets put into a bag and then goes to Urban Conservation Program Manager of the Audubon Society Keith Russell, who has spent 15 years documenting the dead birds to push Philadelphia to help solve a global problem. It s a factor in the decline of lots of species, Russell said. Since 1970, we ve lost about a third of our birds. The design of modern sky stanley cup scrapers is partly to blame. They re often towers of reflective glass that look like more open sky to birds.The problem got little notice in Philadelphia until Maciejewski made his rounds one morning last October. At one building, he said he found about 300 dead birds. A stanley cup cloudy night at the peak of fall migration caused a massacre. One guy brought a stanley cup dust pan of birds. He dumped it out in front of me. There wer Lbzd GSA tells Biden team it can begin formal transition process
HONOLULU - Flowing lava from an erupting volcano could soon force dozens of residents of an area in Hawaii to flee their homes.Authorities on Saturday told them to prepare for a possible evacuation in the next three to five days as the molten rock adidas campus oozed across a country road and edged closer to homes.The flow was about 35 yards wide and moving northeast at about 10 yards per hour. Lava of some 2,000 degrees Fahrenheit crossed a road on the edge of Pahoa, the largest town in the mostly rural region of Puna on the Big Island of Hawaii, at 3:50 a.m.It was about six adidas originals -tenths of a mile from Pahoa Village Road, the town s main street. It s not clear when it might reach the village road as the flow has been advancing erratically, said Matt Patrick, a geologist with the Hawaiian Volcano Observatory.Kilauea volcano h yeezy as been erupting continuously since 1983. Most lava from this eruption has flowed south, enveloping the Kalapana and Royal Garden residential subdivisions as it poured out to sea.For the past two years, however, the lava has been flowing to the northeast, bringing it to Pahoa s doorsteps.Officials were going door-to door to about 50 homes to keep residents informed of the lava s movement, said Darryl Oliveira, the director of civil defense for Hawaii County. This is all something we ve been preparing for and hoping wouldn t have to happen, Oliveira said.The county will issue a mandatory evacuation order if the flow b |
