It is really difficult to get a perspective of how massive some mounds are, but we tried in this video. This starts with "Saul's Mound" at the Pinson Mounds complex in Tennessee. It is 72 feet tall and is tied with a mound in Louisiana as the 2nd tallest...

The tallest mound that was recently found in the Amazon was also roughly 72 feet high. I wonder if there’s some practical reason for that?

Monk’s Mound at Cahokia reframed my scale mindset. With the full mound in camera view, a person walking at the base is hard to see. The St Louis Arch is visible from the top platform. It left me wondering where they got all the earth to build it.

When I went there, I thought I would be smart and take a shortcut, on a hiking trail. ended up walking a couple of miles, longer than I thought. Then I climbed Sauls mound I should have done it the other way.

There are several trails at {inson and the Johnston site is about 1.5 miles away, although not really accessible.

There are mounds in Nacadoches, Texas. Not near as big but the Caddos were supposedly a remnant of the Mound Cultures.

It’s a chick! We are excited to announce the successful hatching of our first Chilean flamingo chick in 9 years. The fluffy white chick, which can be seen with its’ mother on their nest mound in the flamingo habitat, is so far, doing well and drinking the crop milk, a nutritious, bright red liquid that is produced by both male and female parents. The dad, who is never far away, also shares parenting duties with mom. Last weekend, staff observed the egg pipping, which is the natural hatching process when the chick starts breaking through the shell. If the chick needed extra help, staff would step in to assist, however, this would be a last resort as it’s best to allow it to complete this natural milestone with minimal disturbance. This wee chick hatched all on its own. We previously posted about the manmade mounds bird staff created in anticipation of breeding season and the special substrate brought in for this purpose. The flamingos took it upon themselves to settle on a spot to build their own nest mounds, and a number of eggs are currently being incubated. Bird staff caution that some eggs may not be viable, or accidents happen, like an egg may be accidentally damaged during normal nesting activity. We won’t know how many chicks emerge, but the first one is a good sign! And of course, the good news is that this breeding season was all about the flamingos displaying their natural behaviors, and the result is adorable!
