@ACCUSmayor This is in your wheelhouse 🏎️
The Golden Arrow, designed by Captain John R. Gordon Bennett and built in 1929 by Thomson & Taylor, was revolutionary with its arrow-shaped body to cut through air resistance. Powered by a 925 horsepower aircraft engine, it aimed to break the land speed record.
On March 11, 1929, Henry Segrave drove it to an unprecedented 231.45 mph at Daytona Beach, setting a record that lasted nearly 30 years. This feat highlighted the era's engineering spirit and human ambition.
The success of the Golden Arrow was a landmark in automotive history, but tragedy struck when Segrave died the next year in a water speed record attempt. The car, now retired, stands as a testament to speed and innovation.View quoted post on X
@evornithology Towhee for your enjoyment
HOLY SHIT HOLY SHIT HOLY SHIT
Look who we caught today! It’s a hatch year Eastern Towhee (born this year). A female would be brown and a male would be black, and this bird has female characteristics on one side and male on the other— a likely bilateral gynandromorph!!!View quoted post on X

A European Goldfinch (Carduelis carduelis) wing. Although common in this area, I rarely get a chance to inspect their beautiful feathers at close range. Thanks to a hungry sparrowhawk there was nothing much left of this individual apart from its wings.
