 Science News : The first of the ultraviolet lovers. (female blue tit bird distinguishes desirable males by ultraviolet light reflecting from plumage) @ HighBeam Research
There may be more to the sexual displays of the blue tit than meets the eye--the human eye, that is. Birds can see ultraviolet wavelengths that are invisible to humans, and that bird's eye view of feathers may help solve a mystery about mate selection in this European species.
Human bird-watchers have great difficulty distinguishing male from female blue tits, not to mention one individual from another.

 Differentiating the Red Eye
The black-rumped and common waxbills are more difficult to distinguish for beginners because they both have red beaks and red eye-stripes - and it doesn't help when, as often happens, articles published in bird journals that pertain to either of these species are accompanied with photographs of the wrong bird.
Side by side the two species show striking plumage differences, but it isn't always possible to be able to view both at the same time.
Of the three species under review, the rosy-rumped is the easiest to identify because it is the only one with a black beak.

 Private Eye, by Wendy Morton, Notre Dame Magazine, winter 2001-02
Her work embraces both the universal (the private "eye" that sees the world from a bird's eye view) and the particular (the private "I" that is the self in the world that experiences the quotidian world).
The author, who has been an private investigator for 18 years, says poetry "is the private eye that sees into the heart of things." This slender volume tells tales of both sadness and joy, fun and regrets, but it is the sense of loss that undergirds the sweet words.
One reader remarked: Wendy Morton, a private investigator from Sooke, has written an extraodinary book of poems out of her own unique experience, a very human and very moving book.

A bird's eye view of the Syriac language and literature
Syriac belongs to the Semitic family of languages, and is a dialect of Aramaic.
The reason that Syriac "came to be adopted as the literary language of Aramaic speaking Christians all over Mesopotamia may in part be due to the prestige enjoyed by Edessa as a result of its claim to possess a letter written by Jesus to its king (of Arab stock) named Abgar the Black".
