it amuses me that the warning cones read “people working” and not “men working.”  I don’t know if I’ve ever seen a woman up on the side of a building. Not that I’d want this sort of job…

Remember the gulls that were nesting on the roof at work last year? Well, they’re back! Not sure if this is mom or dad, since they take turns sitting on the nest. I hope to chronicle their time more fully this year since I’ve caught them early.

We have borrowed this lion skin from the Harvard MCZ for the summer, as an admittedly tenuous tie-in to the Wizard of Oz exhibit (a not-so-cowardly lion, as it were).  The lion itself was named Cliff, and he lived at Franklin Park Zoo before dying of old age. The connection may be lame, but staff is already fascinated with the specimen.

I’m pretty sure that doesn’t include the crane, though.
