Swiftlets are cunning birds that don't live in an ordinary nest.  These nests are not made out of sticks or are in a tree.  These birds live in dark caves in Asia.  Swiftlets craft their nests from their thick saliva.

Working together,  the male and female swiftlet use their long tongues to spit an outline on where the nest would be.  They carefully layer the sticky saliva on the outline and the saliva dries quickly.  Soon the nest looks like a half bowl on the damp walls.  Now for the Swiflet  couple , the nest is ready.  The nest looks and feels like dried white glue.

One cave can have hundreds of swiflet nest.  sometimes, brave men venture inside the cave and take multiple nests even though it is very dangerous.  One pound of nest can cost up to $100!

Chefs buy these expensive nests for a savory dish called bird nest soup .  this soup might only have a few pieces in it but can cost around $100!  Swiftlets not only have the tastiest home but the most expensive one in
the whole animal kingdom!!

Book Report

Horse shoe Crabs
by:Elizabeth Westlund
Oct. 2015

I read an artical in an old "Ranger Rick"magazine about Horseshoe crabs.
These crabs have ten different eyes and ten legs.  Eight of the ten eyes are used for sensing and the last two are used for looking and seeing just like people.  These crabs lay little green eggs that look just like peas and are only as big as a little o in the alphabet.


The "Red Knots" are becoming extinct.  Why you ask?  Well it is because of people .  these birds usually eat Horseshoe crab eggs but since people have been catching more and more crabs,the crabs don't want to come to shore as often to lay eggs so then the Red Knots don't have a full stomach to get them to their migratory homes.  The Horseshoe Crabs might not be coming to shore as often because of polluted waters....No one knows.


I Liked this artical because it proves Evolution is not true. there is one main Reason,  they stayed the same and are still the same and there is evidence proving it.

Fowling

                                       
                                                                 "  Fowling"

                                                                                                                             By;
                                                                                                                                                                            Elizabeth Westlund
                                                                                                                                    Oct.20, 2015
                                                                                                                               

 
         I read an article in the "World Teen" magazene about a new sport called "Fowling".



         Fowling is a type of football\bowling.  It is practically the same as bowling unless you hit only the middle pin.  If you do this then you blow a bugle horn and say you got a "Bonk Honk".  Everything but that is the same as bowling but just with a football.  This game was originated in Detroit,  Michigan.  It was made by a man named Mr. Hutt.  This game is becoming very popular.



      I think it would be fun to "Fowl" and that is one of the main reasons I chose this article.

                                         "  Seekins You Will Find"                                                                                        By;                                                                                  Elizabeth                                                                                                 This is a mini article about a beetle that is very rare.  This beetles scientific name is: " Carabus vieting hoffi".  This beetle though, is normally called a" Rainbow Beetle."


    A boy , in Alaska, found a Rainbow Beetle which is even more rare to be found in Alaska because it walks everywhere.  Being flightless, it takes a very long time to go from place to place.



         I liked this article because it makes me think about why God would make a beetle like the Rainbow beetle and how cool it is. Scientists buy these bugs because they want to study them.  They pay a Lot for them. From my own expeirence, these bugs are so pretty because they are truly colorful.

Anything you want Sirum

   
               "Anything you want Sirum"
                                                                                                                                             by: Elizabeth
                                                                                                                                                                                                        Westlund

                                                                                                                                               


   Once upon a time, in the earlier, lush Arizona, before the giant, jagged, jutting rock formations,.. was Tortoice and Hare.  Yes the same ones that ran that ever famed race.


         

        One day, Tortoice stumbled upon an ancient, abandoned, ghastly laboritory.  He entered.  Inside, Inside were bottles and capsules filled with coulourful liquids that were labeled different names such as..." Mustle Mist" or "Speedo Spray".  Finally Tortoice found one he wanted. it was called "Anything you want Sirum".  Tortoice was astonished. He then grabbed the capsule  and greedily drank it and ran outside.  Meanwhile, on the other side of the lab was hare.  He was doing the same thing as Tortoice.  When Tortoice ran outside, Hare did to and they ran into each other. They both were as scared as a porcipine in a baloon factory.  Hare was first to recover from his scare.  He then challenged Tortoice to a new race.  Tortoice happily agreed to the challenge.


      Tortoice  and Hare began racing.   They were now 10x their original size and much faster after drinking the sirum.  After exacly 10 min...Arizona as they knew it was now over turned.  Its graceful lakes were now mud holes, and there were giant towers of jagged red rock.  Being so big they shifted the climet so it was quite warm.  Just as Tortoice and hare were about to see who was going to win...
their Sirums wore off .

       
          Tortoice and Hare now looked at the new home he created.  T hey now had to fight to survive in this new world all because of the "Anything you want Sirum"
