Scimitar Bills Invade My Garden

Well, while scientists at CERN were getting excited about possibly seeing the footprint of a Higgs Boson, and capturing an antihydrogen atom for long enough to study it, I was running along under some gorgeous birds who were flying from tree to tree in my garden, trying to identify them.

Ah - ScimitarBills. How lovely.










How much more beautiful than 4-muon trails of destroyed bosons.

  1. That iridescent purple! We used to see them in Zimbabwe after rain, looking for ant eggs.
