Archaeopteryx were a type of flying dinosaur. Their name means “ancient feather”.
This is the Berlin Archaeopteryx, the most complete Archaeopteryx fossil so far. It is what’s called a ‘transitional fossil’, because it shows they had the bony tails & teeth of a reptile as well as the wishbone & flight feathers of a bird.

Experts warn bird flu virus changing rapidly in largest ever outbreak

Since first emerging in 1996, the #H5N1 #avian #influenza #virus had previously been confined to mostly seasonal outbreaks.

But "something happened" in mid-2021 that made the group of viruses much more infectious, according to Richard Webby, the head of a World Health Organization collaborating centre studying influenza in animals.

Since then, outbreaks have lasted all year round, spreading to new areas and leading to mass deaths among wild birds and tens of millions of poultry being culled.

Webby, who is a researcher at St Jude Children's Research Hospital in the US city of Memphis, told AFP it was "absolutely" the largest outbreak of avian influenza the world had seen.

He led research, published this week in the journal Nature Communications, showing how the virus rapidly evolved as it spread from Europe into North America.

The study said the virus increased in virulence, which means it causes more dangerous disease, when in arrived in North America.

The researchers also infected a ferret with one of the new strains of bird flu.

The found an unexpectedly "huge" amount of the virus in its brain, Webby said, indicating it had caused more serious disease than previous strains.

Emphasising that the risk in humans was still low, he said that "this virus is not being static, it's changing".

"That does increase the potential that even just by chance" the virus could "pick up genetic traits that allow it to be more of a human virus," he said.

In rare cases, humans have contracted the sometimes deadly virus, usually after coming in close contact with infected birds.

The virus has also been detected in a soaring number of #mammals, which Webby described as a "really, really troubling sign".

Last week Chile said that nearly 9,000 sea lions, penguins, otters, porpoises and dolphins have died from bird flu along its north coast since the start of the year.

Most mammals are believed to have contracted the virus by eating an infected bird.

But Webby said that what "scares us the most" are indications from a Spanish mink farm, or among sea lions off South America, that the virus could be transmitting #between mammals

I photographed this male purple Martin (Progne subis) a few days ago. We can really see its purple colour in the sunlight. They are nesting at the moment on Vancouver Island, BritishColumbia

This is a portrait of a Great Blue Heron (Ardea herodias) that I photographed one afternoon while out spending some time in Nature. A little crop and some texture work and he’s good to go.

Spotted this stately looking Red-shouldered Hawk juvie on one of our country outings. He was standing straight and tall on a wooden post along the fenceline. Red-shouldered Hawks are a common avian seen in the Florida landscape.

While walking along the Green Jay Trail, I was in search of the Altamira Oriole. But who can resist the sight of the male Northern Cardinal? He gave me several poses before he flew back into the thicker limbs. Bentsen-Rio Grande State Park in southern Texas on March 3rd.

This digital art was created from my original photograph using digital brushes for a painterly effect. I captured this heron from the Leonabelle boardwalk in Port A, TX. When they spread their wings, whether landing or searching for food, it reminds me of glorious angel wings.

A photo of a Snowy Egret doing a little feather preening but it seemed to me he was looking for something he had misplaced. Hence the title. :)

The Plain Chachalaca is a nonmigratory bird that is found in the southern tip of Texas and through much of Central America. I heard the very loud call of several before this one made an appearance on the open branch in the morning light. Captured this image along a trail in the Bentsen-Rio Grande Valley State Park in Mission, TX in March.

The Plain Chachalaca is often referred to as sort of a long-tailed, tropical chicken that lives in the treetops. It is a sandy brown and gray bird that walks along tree branches to forage.  This one stopped on a branch and turned its head sort of over its shoulder and the morning light  partially illuminated its feathered body.  Photography by Debra Martz

I had never seen an Oystercatcher in person before so I was more than thrilled to get a glimpse of this one on an afternoon photo outing. The name of this unique, orange-beaked and eye avian may indicate that their diet consists only of oysters, the coastal birds diet is more varied, dining on bivalves, snails, worms, mussels, fish and crabs.

From bad to worse: How avian flu must change to trigger a human pandemic

The #avian #influenza #virus that has been decimating #birds across the world has also sickened and killed a menagerie of #mammals, raising fears it might evolve to spread more efficiently between these animals, and ultimately between people.

For that nightmare to unfold, however, the virus, a subtype known as #H5N1, would have to undergo a major transformation, changing from a pathogen efficient at infecting cells in the guts of birds and spreading through feces-contaminated water into one adept at infecting human lung tissue and spreading through the air.

So far, that has not happened. None of the few people who have caught the virus currently wiping out birds, called "clade 2.3.4.4b", seems to have passed it on to other people.

“This clade … is most of all and more than all previous clades an avian virus,” says virologist Martin Beer of the Friedrich Loeffler Institute.

That is why it has spread so far and wide in birds, he says, and why it is so poor at infecting people. Beer and his colleagues in Berlin and Münster, Germany, have been using lung tissue taken from cancer patients undergoing surgeries, for instance, to see whether the virus can efficiently infect the human cells. -- So far, it cannot.

Earlier this week I saw a brown creeper, Certhia americana, building a nest under a piece of raised bark, Vancouver Island, British Columbia.

It's sweet how timing works. I hadn't made it 100 yards at the start of the trail when the mosquitoes attacked. So it was back to the truck for insect repellent wipes. This little one was perched on the side view mirror but as I got closer it flew into the tree close by, then it turned and watched me from there.
