"Daily existence is increasingly that of despair, depression, and derangement, punctuated by news of the latest serial murder spree or global eco-disaster, consumed as horrible entertainments in the emptiness." - John Zerzan

Peregrine falcon couple hatches a family atop University of Michigan Hospitals
That is just so cool. Showing my age here but I remember as a kid that the pesticide DDT (which we were solemnly told was safe enough to sprinkle over your breakfast cereal) was in wide use. And as a result the larger birds esp. raptors had problems with their eggs not hatching and so forth. And now few decades later after DDT's use was banned comes this! Cool. Nature can repair itself quite nicely if we but let it.
