चरा हो कि माछा : A Fish or a bird?

यो चरा हो कि माछा , Is this a fish or a bird? : It is a American Dipper !

The American Dipper, scientifically known as Cinclus mexicanus, is a unique and remarkable bird found in the western parts of North America. Here are some key characteristics and facts about the American Dipper:

  1. Appearance: The American Dipper is a medium-sized songbird, measuring about 5.5 to 7.1 inches (14-18 cm) in length. It has a plump body with a short tail and short wings. The bird's feathers are mostly dark gray or brown, providing camouflage against its rocky habitat. It has a white eyelid that stands out and contrasts with its dark plumage.

  2. Habitat: American Dippers are known for their affinity to fast-flowing mountain streams, rivers, and waterfalls in the western parts of North America. They are primarily found in regions such as Alaska, western Canada, and the Rocky Mountains of the United States, including California, Oregon, and Colorado. These birds are well adapted to their aquatic habitat.

  3. Adaptations: American Dippers have several adaptations that enable them to thrive in their watery environments. Their feathers have a dense structure that provides insulation and waterproofing, allowing them to dive into water to find food without becoming waterlogged. They have specialized nasal flaps that protect their nostrils from water, and their eyes have a protective membrane called a nictitating membrane that allows them to see underwater.

  4. Unique Behavior: One of the most fascinating behaviors of American Dippers is their ability to dive and swim underwater in search of food. They feed on aquatic invertebrates such as insects, larvae, small fish, and aquatic eggs. Dippers use their wings to "fly" underwater, and they can walk on the streambed using their sturdy legs and feet to search for food.

  5. Song and Vocalizations: American Dippers are known for their melodious songs, which are often heard near their watery habitats. Their vocalizations consist of a series of clear, rapid, and high-pitched notes. These songs serve as territorial calls and are important for mate attraction and communication.

  6. Breeding and Nesting: American Dippers are monogamous and form pair bonds during the breeding season. They build cup-shaped nests using a combination of moss, grass, twigs, and other plant materials, usually near water sources. These nests are often situated behind waterfalls, under bridges, or on the banks of streams. The female lays 3 to 5 eggs, which both parents incubate for about two weeks. The chicks leave the nest around three weeks after hatching.

American Dippers are fascinating birds that have adapted to their unique aquatic environments. Their ability to swim underwater and their melodious songs make them a delight to observe for birdwatchers and nature enthusiasts alike.

The modern woman cannot be treated as a baby making machine!

 Lower birth rates and falling fertility is a worldwide phenomenon. In Europe, France had the highest birth rate; the southern European countries – like Italy, Portugal and Spain – the lowest. South Korea, Japan, Singapore and Hong Kong are all very worried about population decline.

We can see clearly, looking at the figures, that in countries where women are responsible for most of the childcare and domestic work, then the less willing they are to have children. In Japan, many women are flat out refusing traditional roles. In Italy, where many men go back to their mother’s house to eat, women rarely have more than one child. Partners become an added burdensome awkward responsibility. Why would women want even more? In countries like Norway and
