A Rare Find

Fifteen-year-old photographer Marlin Shank was fortunate enough to capture several images of a rare albino ruby-throated hummingbird while in a park in Staunton, Va. This is normally where I’d add some commentary to the scene… but I’ll just let these amazing photos speak for themselves this time.

Magnificent,yes? Most definitely, yes.

Science at it's best

My Mom shared a video with me and I have watched it four times thus far. It is amazing. I'm a huge fan of TED talks and have shown many of the TED videos to my students, but this one takes the grand prize. Turn on your speakers, lean back and enjoy. Nature is amazing.
