A report by The Today Show on the science for cloning long-dead animals of course takes the jazzy approach of musing upon the possibility of resurrecting dinosaurs and woolly mammoths.

Recently, the Red-tailed Hawk made a surprise appearance on an apartment air conditioner on the twentieth street south side of 34 Gramercy Park East. A birdwatcher-neighbor provides additional information on Red-tailed Hawks below and suggested that the Trustees collectively determine a name for the Hawk as "he is deserving of the distinction." ]]> http://susty.com/red-tailed-hawk-surprise-visit-high-above-gramercy-park-bird-of-prey-wildlife-nature-photo/feed/ 0 http://susty.com/red-tailed-hawk-gramercy-park-perched-edwin-booth-statue-photo/ http://susty.com/red-tailed-hawk-gramercy-park-perched-edwin-booth-statue-photo/#comments Tue, 16 Jun 2009 20:52:16 +0000 by George Spyros, New York City, USA http://susty.com/?p=6640 Red-Tailed Hawk of Gramercy Park has been spending quite a bit of time perched on the head of the Edwin Booth statue.

The occasion was a recent screening of the film Sea Ghosts which uses the Beluga whales as the "canary in the coal mine" to conveying the environmental consequences that await we humans. Ironically Sea Ghosts was on the same night that the Star Trek movie rebooted its space opera franchise, so we asked Fabien to comment on the disproportionate amount of research dollars being apportioned to space exploration over Earth's oceans. He also touches on some basic concepts for how our everyday actions wind up contributing to the pollution of our oceans and how that comes back to haunt us on our dinner plates. ]]> http://susty.com/fabien-cousteau-ocean-exploration-industry-pollution-toxic-chemicals-beluga-whale-consumer-pbs-video/feed/ 4 http://susty.com/conservation-international-screening-movie-home-yann-arthus-bertrand-laura-bowling-ci-nyc-video/ http://susty.com/conservation-international-screening-movie-home-yann-arthus-bertrand-laura-bowling-ci-nyc-video/#comments Wed, 03 Jun 2009 05:56:18 +0000 by George Spyros, New York City, USA http://susty.com/?p=6582 Earth From Above) epic film Home held today at the Florence Gould Theater in mid-town Manhattan, we chatted with Conservation International's Head of Marketing and Public Relations Laura Bowling.]]> http://susty.com/conservation-international-screening-movie-home-yann-arthus-bertrand-laura-bowling-ci-nyc-video/feed/ 0
