Aaron Dobbs and Lily Oei interview one of my favorite actors, Bill Irwin, who is playing George in Who's Afraid of Virginia Woolf?

...the more you're onstage, the more you're able to think through your body, and so it's not so much a series of conscious gestures and choices as just letting the unconscious tell the story. You have to be able to have been in front of audiences enough to trust subtle gestures, otherwise you may feel "Oh this isn't enough, that isn't enough," but in fact a subtle gesture is often enough, and more than that, is more than enough.

Douglas Levey of the University of Florida employs a novel experimental method in order to investigate how Eastern Bluebird (Sialia sialis) uses vegetation corridors. His team sprayed Wax Myrtle (Myrica cerifera) fruits (a favorite food of the birds) with fluorescent powder and then examined the patterns of droppings in the study area.

I always thought of bluebirds as primarily insectivores; presumably the investigation (in the Savannah River National Environmental Research Park) was performed in winter, when the birds must rely on berries for food.
