Flying fish was the subject of the PBS series “Trails to Tsukiji.” Our Swedish host traveled to Hachijojima, a volcanic island near Tokyo. I have been mesmerized by flying fish sailing through the air next to the ferry as we motored to Ocracoke Island North Carolina. In Japan, flying fish is a seasonal delicacy. The marine acrobats are fried, made into sushi, fishballs, soups, served with ramen noodles. Even the roe (eggs) is well-liked. Sixty-four species of flying fish live in the oceans; fish with one set of large fins and others with two sets (they fly further). The fish can remain airborne for nearly a minute rising 20 feet above the ocean traveling a distance over 1,000 feet at speeds over 40 mph. You have to admire this fish, not eat it.

Hopefully, it, and possibly a smaller one, has now moved on since there’s no suet out there for it to detect with its keen sense of smell. But, of course, only time will tell.

A garden oasis drew in hundreds of nature lovers out of the cold and into the Seaport Hotel and World Trade Center early on Saturday morning. In the Seaport from March 13 to March 17, the Boston Flower and Garden Show exhibited 20 garden displays and hosted dozens of shops. While foot-traffic was heavy, the tranquil sounds of garden fountains and streams could still be heard over the chatter. Bursts of color and the fragrance of fresh flowers filled the room with excitement for spring.

“We were told to start looking in bins in case her body was in there,” a woman at the resort who watched Madeleine told the Daily Mirror. “It was at that point we realized this was serious.”

"Feeding wild birds is a deceptively commonplace activity. Yet, it is one of the most intimate, private, and potentially profound forms of human interaction with nature. This perceptive study uncovers some of the remarkable depth associated with bird feeding and discerns that people who feed birds are alert to a wide range of additional natural phenomena," said Darryl Jones, a professor at the Environmental Futures Research Institute and School of Environment and Sciences at Griffith University in Australia, who was not connected to the study.
