Bird Feet And Legs
The anatomy of bird legs and feet is diverse, encompassing many accommodations to perform a wide variety of functions. Most birds are classified as digitigrade animals, meaning they walk on their toes rather than the entire foot. Some of the lower bones of the foot (the distals and most of the metatarsal) are fused to form the tarsometatarsus – a third segment of the leg, specific to birds. The upper bones of the foot ( proximals), in turn, are fused with the tibia to form the tibiotarsus, as over time the centralia disappeared. The fibula also reduced.; ; The legs are attached to a strong assembly consisting of the pelvic girdle extensively fused with the uniform spinal bone (also specific to birds) called the ''synsacrum'', built from some of the fused bones. Hindlimbs Birds are generally digitigrade animals ( toe-walkers), which affects the structure of their leg skeleton. They use only their hindlimbs to walk (bipedalism). Their forelimbs evolved to beco ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Birdfoot Sagebrush
''Artemisia pedatifida'' is a species of flowering plant in the aster family known by the common names birdfoot sagebrush and matted sagewort. It is native to a section of the west-central United States encompassing parts of Idaho, Montana, Wyoming and Colorado, where it occurs on the high plains.Taylor, Jane E. 2006''Artemisia pedatifida''.In: Fire Effects Information System, nline U.S. Department of Agriculture, Forest Service, Rocky Mountain Research Station, Fire Sciences Laboratory. This plant is a perennial herb or small subshrub growing up to about 15 centimeters tall. There are several stems growing from a woody base atop a woody root. The small, gray-green leaves occur in a tuft around the woody base. The inflorescence contains a number of round flower heads which each have a few pistillate ray florets and a few disc florets. The plant reproduces by seed. [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Crow Foot (c. 1876 – December 15, 1890) was the son of Sitting Bull Sitting Bull ( lkt, Tȟatȟáŋka Íyotake ; December 15, 1890) was a Hunkpapa Lakota leader who led his people during years of resistance against United States government policies. He was killed by Indian agency police on the Standing Rock I ... of the Lakota. His mother was either Seen by Her Nation or Four Robes. He had sisters named Standing Holy and Lodge; he also had brothers named Henry, Little Soldier, Red Scout, and Theodore. He was a twin and was born just before the Battle of the Little Bighorn in 1876. He was named in honor of Crow Foot, the Blackfeet chief in Canada. Crow Foot was recalled in his father's obituary as "'bright as a dollar with eyes that fairly snap like whips'". His father, who believed Indian children needed to learn to read and write, placed Crow Foot and his other children in a Congregational day school. Crow Foot was reportedly Sitting Bull's favorite son. Crow Foot ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Bird's Fort, Texas
Bird's Fort was a community north of present-day Arlington, Texas (USA). In 1841, when John Neely Bryan established Dallas, he invited the settlers at Bird's Fort to come live in his proposed city. History The site was named for Major Jonathan Bird, who established a fort there in September 1841 along the Trinity River, for protection of the settlements along the Texas frontier. The garrison was constructed after the battle of Village Creek which occurred on May 24, 1841. Bird's Fort was occupied until March 1842 when the garrison was abandoned due to the threat of a Comanche attack. The military installation was the site of the 1843 treaty negotiations between tribal Indians and Anglo settlements in the Red River counties. On August 6, 1843, the ill-fated Snively Expedition was disbanded at Fort Bird. Bird's Fort was recognized as a Texas historic site in 1936.

Erodium
''Erodium'' is a genus of flowering plants in the botanical family Geraniaceae. The genus includes about 60 species, native to North Africa, Indomalaya, the Middle East, and Australia. They are perennials, annuals, or subshrubs, with five-petalled flowers in shades of white, pink, and purple, that strongly resemble the better-known ''Geranium'' (cranesbill). Cultivated plants are known as filarees or heron's bill in North America, whereas in the British Isles they are usually called storksbills. Taxonomy Carl Linnaeus grouped in the same genus (''Geranium''), the three similar genera ''Erodium'', ''Geranium'', and ''Pelargonium''. The distinction between them was made by Charles Louis L'Héritier de Brutelle based on the number of stamens or anthers: five for ''Erodium'',Parnell, J. and Curtis. ''Webb's An Irish Flora.'' Cork University Press. seven for ''Pelargonium'', and ten for ''Geranium''. However, the three genera have the same characteristics in regard to their fruit ...

Geranium
''Geranium'' is a genus of 422 species of annual, biennial, and perennial plants that are commonly known as geraniums or cranesbills. They are found throughout the temperate regions of the world and the mountains of the tropics, but mostly in the eastern part of the Mediterranean region. The palmately cleft leaves are broadly circular in form. The flowers have five petals and are coloured white, pink, purple or blue, often with distinctive veining. Geraniums will grow in any soil as long as it is not waterlogged. Propagation is by semiripe cuttings in summer, by seed, or by division in autumn or spring. Geraniums are eaten by the larvae of some Lepidoptera species including brown-tail, ghost moth, and mouse moth. At least several species of ''Geranium'' are gynodioecious. The species '' Geranium viscosissimum'' (sticky geranium) is considered to be protocarnivorous. Name The genus name is derived from the Greek (''géranos'') or (''geranós'') 'crane'. The Englis ...

Birdsfoot Trefoil
''Lotus corniculatus'' is a flowering plant in the pea family Fabaceae, native to grasslands in temperate Eurasia and North Africa. Common names include common bird's-foot trefoil, eggs and bacon, birdsfoot deervetch, and just bird's-foot trefoil, though the latter name is often also applied to other members of the genus. It is a perennial herbaceous plant, similar in appearance to some clovers. The name 'bird's foot' refers to the appearance of the seed pods on their stalk. Five leaflets are present, but with the central three held conspicuously above the others, hence the use of the name 'trefoil'. It is often used as forage and is widely used as food for livestock due to its nonbloating properties. Description The height of the plant is variable, from , occasionally more where supported by other plants; the stems can reach up to long. It is typically sprawling at the height of the surrounding grassland. It can survive fairly close grazing, trampling, and mowing. It is most ...

Dactyly
In biology, dactyly is the arrangement of digits (fingers and toes) on the hands, feet, or sometimes wings of a tetrapod animal. It comes from the Greek word δακτυλος (''dáktylos'') = "finger". Sometimes the ending "-dactylia" is used. The derived adjectives end with "-dactyl" or "-dactylous". As a normal feature Pentadactyly Pentadactyly (from Greek "five") is the condition of having five digits on each limb. It is traditionally believed that all living tetrapods are descended from an ancestor with a pentadactyl limb, although many species have now lost or transformed some or all of their digits by the process of evolution. However, this viewpoint was challenged by Stephen Jay Gould in his 1991 essay "Eight (Or Fewer) Little Piggies", where he pointed out polydactyly in early tetrapods and described the specializations of digit reduction. Despite the individual variations listed below, the relationship is to the original five-digit model. In reptiles, the limbs ...

Viola Pedata
''Viola pedata'', the birdsfoot violet, bird's-foot violet, or mountain pansy, is a violet native to sandy areas in central and eastern North America. Varieties Two primary color forms exist, ''Viola pedata'' var. ''lineariloba'' ("concolor"), which is a solid pink-lilac-lavender color, and var. ''pedata'' ("bicolor"), in which the superior petals are a deep red-purple and the lateral and interior petals are similar to the concolor variety. Less common is ''Viola pedata'' var. ''linearloba'' forma ''alba'', which is a white flowered form. Cultivation Birdsfoot violet favors well drained, acidic soils in full to partial sun environments. It is difficult to cultivate in typical garden environments because it does not tolerate rich, organic garden soils and excess moisture.
