This is a fascinating 24 part lecture series on the civilizations of North America from the arrival of first peoples (pre clovis) all the way up to European contact. I will upload them all over the next week or two. The people of the ancient Southwest were skilled astronomers, incorporating astronomical alignments in their architecture with impressive displays of light and shadow. Learn how discoveries of the Sun Dagger and the Chimney Rock lunar observatory—as well as the alignment of Great Houses miles apart along lunar maximum lines—could help reveal the true purpose of Chaco Canyon.

In The Duck Chronicles Episode Fourteen - Chowing Down on the Green the ducks have had their first successful outside overnight mission. Accomplished with minimal supervision by Charlie and Max. Today we cross a bridge where the ducks begin to truly become independent and begin moving toward flock integration, though they are quite a ways from that still at this point. Our relationship now much change as well. No more daily handling and that means no more daily weighing. They now need to see us as benevolent creatures the hang out with them, don't bother them and simply give them food and water and lead them to good places to find forage. It is this relationship that makes managing them easy for the rest of their lives. It allows them to trust you when you want to heard them to a location or put them in for the night. It is why they are excited to see you each morning vs. afraid. All this is mostly accomplished by doing nothing but sitting with them every morning and afternoon. I also have more Q&A for you today, such as... How you can find all episodes of this Series.

Will I provide videos of "Geoff Lawton’s Idea" for duck integrated aquatic farming? Yes but not as part of this series. How do you keep chickens and ducks from eating your garden? Those really are two separate questions by the way.
