Bluff Eagle Council (FBEC) revised its mission this year to 1 returning to a winter area likely means that birds will look in the same winter areas for food in subsequent years. Finding no food, they would presumably move on to search new areas. Finding food, they would presumably remain. This inference is similar to the argument made regarding food abundance and food availability. The difference is that philopatry refers to multiple-year importance of these pat- terns of change in winter habitats rather than changes that might occur within one year. FBEC had the good fortune to test this hypothesis of winter philopatry in eagles by teaming with REGI. The eagles that Marge Gibson rehabilitates are usually recovered from vari- ous places in Wisconsin and even farther afield in the Mid- Coming Home: What Resources west. After their recovery, however, Marge would release some of these birds in the Sauk Prairie area.

  • Heraldry in Macedonia with Special Regard to the People's/Socialist
    genealogy Article Heraldry in Macedonia with Special Regard to the People’s/Socialist Republic of Macedonia until 1991 Jovan Jonovski Macedonian Heraldic Society, 1000 Skopje, North Macedonia; [email protected] or [email protected]; Tel.: +389-70-252-989 Abstract: Every European region and country has some specific heraldry. In this paper, we will consider heraldry in the People’s/Socialist Republic of Macedonia, understood by the multitude of coats of arms, and armorial knowledge and art. Due to historical, as well as geographical factors, there is only a small number of coats of arms and a developing knowledge of art, which make this paper’s aim feasible. This paper covers the earliest preserved heraldic motifs and coats of arms found in Macedonia, as well as the attributed arms in European culture and armorials of Macedonia, the кing of Macedonia, and Alexander the Great of Macedonia. It also covers the land arms of Macedonia from the so-called Illyrian Heraldry, as well as the state and municipal heraldry of P/SR Macedonia. The paper covers the development of heraldry as both a discipline and science, and the development of heraldic thought in SR Macedonia until its independence in 1991. Keywords: heraldry of Macedonia; coats of arms of Macedonia; socialist heraldry; Macedonian municipal heraldry 1. Introduction Macedonia, as a region, is situated on the south of Balkan Peninsula in Southeast Citation: Jonovski, Jovan. 2021. Europe. The traditional boundaries of the geographical region of Macedonia are the lower Heraldry in Macedonia with Special Néstos (Mesta in Bulgaria) River and the Rhodope Mountains to the east; the Skopska Crna Regard to the People’s/Socialist Gora and Shar mountains, bordering Southern Serbia, in the north; the Korab range and Republic of Macedonia until 1991.

  • American Indian Flags and the Lewis & Clark Bicentennial
    Edward B. Kaye: American Indian Flags and the Lewis & Clark Bicentennial Abstract: In 2003-2006 the United States commemorated the 200th anniversary of the Lewis & Clark Expedition with events across the entire country. The “Corps of Discoverv ”, as it was known, explored the North American Continent from Missouri to Oregon, expanding knowledge of the Louisiana Territory and the Oregon Country and strengthening the claims of the United States. In 1803-06 the Corps, led by U.S. Armv captains Meriwether Lewis and William Clark, traveled over 13,000 km. through the homelands of over 50 native tribes. During the Bicentennial those tribes used their flags to represent their role as sovereign nations encountered by the expedition. While 200 years ago none of those tribes had flags of their own, today nearly all are vexilliferoiis. Their flags have been adopted primarily in the past 25 years, spurred by federal laws .supporting tribal sovereigntv and allowing operation of gambling casinos; some were adopted specifically in anticipation of the Bicentennial. The largest single use of American Indian flags took place during the opening ceremonies of the Bicentennial event in November 2005 at the Pacific Ocean, where representatives of tribes carried 50 flags, supplied bv members of the North American Vexillological Association. 22 International Congress of Vexillobgy FlagBnrlin2'.^'’ Introduction In the early 1800s, the United States was a very young countty, occupying just the eastern coast of North America. Other countries, France, Great Britain, Spain, and Russia, all made territorial claims on and occupied parts of the continent.
