Naturally, the media went wild immediately. Literally overnight, this former intern for Ted Kennedy, an ethnic Puerto Rican, became a national celebrity; you can tell the stories were prepped and in the can once her victory was assured.

So, what was a chukar doing at a bird feeder in suburban New England? Their preferred habitat is steep mountainous terrain - a mixture of brush and grass and low plants. They also like agricultural lands. They like the west. They like dry grasslands. They are the national bird of Pakistan and Iraq. They are definitely not drawn to New England.

Nearby in the North Bed, two 18-foot red-crowned Japanese cranes tower over blooming lotus flowers in various stages of life. The cranes are inspired by the popular One Hundred Famous Views of Edo, one of a series of ukiyo-e prints by Japanese artist Hiroshige. In Japanese culture, the crane symbolizes longevity and strength, while the lotus flowers are honored for their ability to bloom from the mud of a murky pond – a process that symbolizes enlightenment.

We learn that the animals, relying on their colouring to hide them in the grass of the plains, a form of ‘stubborn foolishness’, had been clubbed to death by the hundreds for their ‘barely usable hides’. So the painting that appears to depict a simple patch of grass actually contains all of history (though without actual historical referents), yet is really just about a missing animal whose absence is explained by a brutal joke. Such deadpan bits of faux sociology are contained within the broadly absurd conceit of a frontier society led by a vanguard of artists and writers. The plains are barren and pregnant, empty and full, everything and nothing.

Scientists also discovered that when deciding how much to feed birds, people prioritized natural factors, such as cold weather, more than time and money.
