A couple of months ago I became aware of an Eagle cam on Hornby Island British Columbia. When I first watched the cam it was only Mom, Dad and 2 eggs. Not long after came the hatching of Phoenix, a little girl who became a star to the thousands of people who tuned in daily. At 76 days old and nearing the time to try out her first flight tragedy struck. It appeared through the camera that Phoenix was unwell and having trouble breathing. The Hornby Eagle Group and many others tried their best to get permits to get to the nest to save her but Phoenix passed away. Through necropsy of her body it was determined she died of bilateral mycotic pneumonia. More tests are being done to see what cause dthe infection later. Mom and Dad are an older pair of eagles who have raised many babies. It is hoped their time will come to once again be such great parents. R.I.P. Phoenix ... you taught a lot of people about Eagles and the wonder of nature in general ... you will be missed. (video after the jump)

THE MUSTANG CONSPIRACY: Sex, Drugs, Corruption and BP
Recently this video was featured on mainstream news channel CNN.
What, you may ask, could "Sex, Drugs, Mustangs, Corruption and BP" have in common? That's not only a fair question, it has an astounding and disgusting answer that exposes one of the most bizarre, unethical, horridly sad and disturbing conspiracies we've come across yet (and that's saying something after 13 years!).
Please note, we said Conspiracy, not Conspiracy Theory. That's very important. Above Top Secret
BREAKING THE MEDIA BLACKOUT IN THE GULF
WARNING: The following video is not uplifting. In fact it's possibly the ugliest, saddest most depressing video I have watched yet. Having said that however, I think it should be MANDATORY for every human being, yes even your precious children to be made to watch every horrible scene. I'm not only posting this video because I want to cut through the media blackout by the American Government and BP. I'm posting this video because this just isn't a Gulf Coast problem, it's a planet problem and I'm mad as hell and hope you will be too. We all play a part in this ... not just BP ... and if we can make this mess we sure as hell should be able to face. some of the consequences of using oil. Now go watch the video before you go back to your regular programming, please!

WHALE SONGS: The Oceania Project
"Established in 1988, The Oceania Project is an independent, non-profit research organization dedicated to the conservation and protection of whales, dolphins and the oceans.
Humpback whale songs are transferred from year to year and evolve in a similar fashion to the verbally transmitted tribal lore of Aboriginal cultures from where the term songlines is derived.
The East Australian Humpback Whales travel in an unending cycle of migration between their birthplace in the inter-reef lagoon of the Great Barrier Reef and their Antarctic feeding areas.
Their world is comprised of vast stretches of ocean where songs emitted by the Humpback Whales can be heard over great distances. Each year the whales sing a new song. Haunting melodies of radiant joy which fill the ocean along the East Coast of Australia.
When ecosystems across the planet are collapsing and species are becoming extinct at an accelerating rate, the East Australian Humpback Whales are making a remarkable recovery. They have become Australia's national treasure and a symbol of hope for our imperiled environment.
We as the new generation of caretakers of the planet Earth have learnt from the mistakes of our elders and are helping nurture the Rebirth of a Species."

GULF OIL SPILL: IT'S PAST TIME TO BE PISSED PEOPLE
At least these people are taking a stand ... What have you done today? This is not just a Gulf of Mexico problem anymore. Our planet is being poisoned and hundreds of thousands of animals are dying slow horrible deaths ... make no mistake ... humans will not be far behind. Take the time to write your local officials NO MATTER WHERE YOU LIVE and let them know that something has to be done and leaving this matter in British Petroleum's hands IS NOT ACCEPTABLE ANYMORE.
