Photo of the Day – The male Scarlet Tanager (Piranga olivacea) is definitely a contender for the best-looking bird of the US’s eastern forests during the summer. Unfortunately, this American songbird seems to like to stay frustratingly high in forest canopies during spring migration and early summer. Though, during late summer and autumn migration, birds often join mixed flocks with other songbirds to feed, where knowing their distinct song certainly helps in tracking them down.

This Medieval Italian Man Replaced His Amputated Hand With a Weapon

Archaeologists have found a fascinating puzzle in the shape of a man’s remains dating back to medieval Italy. It looks like this guy went through life with a knife attached to his arm, in place of his amputated hand.

The skeleton in question was found in a Longobard necropolis in the north of Italy, dating back to around the 6th to 8th centuries CE. Hundreds of skeletons were buried there, as well as a headless horse and several greyhounds, but this particular skeleton stood out.

He was an older male, aged between 40 and 50, and his right arm had been amputated around the mid-forearm.

The researchers, led by archaeologist Ileana Micarelli of Sapienza University in Rome, determined that the hand had been removed by blunt force trauma, but exactly how or why is impossible to tell. Read more.

Secretarybird (Sagittarius serpentarius) – photo by tubasa-wings

Birds’ eyelashes are modified feathers, not hairs, but they serve the same purpose they do in mammals: to help keep dust and debris out of the eyes. Most birds have at least a few small feather-lashes, but the ones that have these extensive lashes tend to be mostly terrestrial or completely flightless.

The secretarybird is a member of the order Accipitriformes, the diurnal birds of prey that includes hawks and eagles. It has the longest legs of any bird of prey, and hunts snakes and lizards by stomping on them.
