Coracina cephaloptera [now Cephalopterus ornatus] - the Amazonian Umbrellabird

Bro’s got some wicked style. That wattle inflates when it calls, by the way. Just cause the ultra-hawk wasn’t bad enough.

Amazonian umbrellabirds are the largest passerines (perching birds/”songbirds”) in the world. Aside from their distinctly woodpecker-like flight, they resemble terribly stylish crows, rather than their closer cousins, such as finches and sparrows.

Ghost Crab Up Close

Ghost crabs are often seen scuttling quickly along beaches at night, when they emerge from their burrows to feed, and can be difficult to photograph in the wild. They are common in Moorea, an island in the Pacific Ocean, where this specimen was collected. More about the Moorea can be found in the article “Scientists Catalog Life on the Island of Moorea.”

“I still can’t get over the fact that you made this movie … you’re usually so sadistic,” one writer told Haneke at a reception Wednesday night hosted by the Los Angeles Film Critics Assn., referring to “Amour,” an unflinching, intimate portrait of an elderly man (Jean-Louis Trintignant) caring for his wife (Emmanuelle Riva) as her life comes to an end.

Haneke smiles and does not dispute the assessment, though, later, he tells me he finds such readings of his work to be simplistic and strange. But at the age of 70, he’s well past the point of caring — if he ever did in the first place.
