WIND FARMING

The technology behind harvesting wind has undergone major advances in recent years. Far from randomly installing turbines on a windy hill, wind farming has become a precise technology involving extensive analysis to determine the best location for each turbine, any one of which can produce enough energy to power 750 homes.

THE BIRTH OF A HUMMINGBIRD

This is truly amazing. Be sure to click on NEXT PAGE at the bottom of each page; there are 5 pages in all. A lady found a hummingbird nest and got pictures all the way from the egg to leaving the nest. It took 24 days from birth to flight. Because you'll probably never in your lifetime see this again, enjoy; and please share.
