Short Memo:

The shooting tragedy that happened in Colorado struck me hard, innocent people going to see a movie and finding death instead. It’s unthinkable and terribly wrong!

Just last Tuesday I wrote about the heat wave that might affect behavior in animals as well as in people. Is the high temperature such a influential factor in our behavior? I’m very sorry for the victims families, such a great loss.

Changing subject. The relentless heat wave still pounds the whole country, sporadic rains with below normal water volume are not enough to save all the crops or the demise of many animals. Droughts are rampant.

My pictorial for today has an interesting subject, it’s well known by most people: The Cooper’s Hawk.
