family of birds‚ which also includes swans and geese. The ducks are divided among several subfamilies in the Anatidae family; they do not represent a monophyletic group (the group of all descendants of a single common ancestral species) but a form taxon‚ since swans and geese are not considered ducks.

Ducks are sometimes confused with several types of unrelated water birds with

Dinosaurs‚ theropods especially‚ fit in-between crocodiles and birds on the evolutionary scale. This relationship shows that theropod dinosaurs could have some of the traits of reptilian crocodiles and birds. The fact that theropod dinosaurs are in-between crocodiles and aves leads to the assumption that theropod dinosaurs were warm blooded so that they could transition to birds. Homoeothermic tendencies in theropod dinosaurs can be determined from the physical data of

Nationalities sought each other out instinctively— like a homing pigeon circling to get its bearings; years and name-places recognised by accents‚ partitioned off at night by memories of hunger and hate. For over two years we loved like birds of passage— always sensing a change in the weather: unaware of the season whose track we would follow. A barrier at the main gate sealed off the highway from our doorstep— as it rose and fell like a finger pointed in reprimand or shame;

Eastern Shore is to provide a home for chickens who already exist‚ rather than adding to the population and thus diminishing our capacity to adopt more birds. For this reason we do not allow our hens to hatch their eggs in the spring and early summer as they would otherwise do‚ given their association with the roosters in our yard. All of our birds have been adopted from situations of abandonment or abuse‚ or else they were no longer wanted or able to be cared for by their previous owners. Our two-acre
