  Eyebrow Wax -- Recommendations and Resources   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-08)
The function of the eyebrows is to prevent debris such as dandruff and other small objects from falling into the eyes, as well as providing sense of something near the eye, such as an insect and prevent water or sweat from dripping into the eye.
Should the eyebrow become infected it may swell or develop a fluid-filled bump or pimple at the hole, which may be alleviated by administering soaks of warm, mild saline.
Eyebrow threading is a practise of shaping the eyebrows using a thread.

 Thrush (bird) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Thrushes, family Turdidae, are a group of passerine birds that occur mainly but not exclusively in the Old World.
Traditionally it included the small Old World species, like the Nightingale and European Robin in the subfamily Saxicolini, but now often either that group or the whole family is now placed in the Old World flycatcher family Muscicapidae.
This article follows Handbook of the Birds of the World with edits from Clement and Hathaway, Thrushes (2000), and retains the large thrushes in Turdidae.

Eyebrowed Thrushes (and for that matter American Robins) are extremely flighty when on the island, and obtaining a satisfying view can be difficult.
Look for a dark gray wash across the upper chest (much more evident in males), bold white supercilium that flares behind the eye and dark chestnut back to eliminate American Robin.
It should be noted that there are two similar Thrushes in east Asia that might someday occur, the Brown Thrush (Turdus chrysolaus) and Gray-backed Thrush (Turdus hortulorum).

 Eyebrowed Thrush in California   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-08)
At first, given our initially very poor and brief looks, I was shocked by what we had seen and convinced that the bird could not have actually been an Eyebrowed Thrush, even though I was relatively sure that's what it was.
After much looking, punctuated by brief views over the next few hours, we pinpointed the bird's location in deep shade in a stand of bamboo and willows and we quietly waited for the bird to start foraging.
The thrush finally starting foraging a bit in the open (but still in shade) and Linda was able to videotape it, while several of us took photos.

It was the last week of May on St. Paul Island, the largest of the tiny Pribilof Islands, about 300 miles west of the Alaskan mainland in the Bering Sea, and for bird-watchers that means only one thing: Asian vagrants.
A good west wind would blow prize Siberian rarities like Far Eastern curlew, common snipe, eyebrowed thrush, and Siberian rubythroat hundreds of miles east of their intended migration routes.
And, with any luck, the exhausted birds would drop from the sky within range of our binoculars and scopes, pose long enough for us to capture them with our high-powered telephoto lenses, and then vanish back into the low gray sky before anyone else had a chance to spot them.
