  1. Glad it arrived quickly! Got your coin on Friday, thanks for the trade! Thank you!
  2. Yeah, the AE is really beautiful in hands!
  3. Congrats to Azure Sky and Keewee!!
  4. Jim, I have a doubt, only about numbers. When you said that 'Version G will be available in sets only', do you mean that Version G will be available in this sets only', or that also will be available in all sets, in future sets?
  5. Great news!, two math trades each year
  6. What is the coin in the middle on top?
  7. So Packages sent: Where'sMyMarbles, eseurat (x2) Packages received: Nikon-ing, sheltiedogshowlover, pingos :D Thanks for this interesting and funny MathTrade! ...for when the next?
  8. It looks like the bubble mailer and the coin are lost in the mail and probably wil not show up any more. Unfortunately I do not have another Tiki Stomp geocoin that I can send to you, but of course I will send you some other geocoin ! I will get in touch with you over the weekend to find a suitable solution. Marjon Yep, is the most probably ...but you can send me another coin if it's not problem, don't worry, I thank you anyway Today I have sent you another coin Marjon, thanks a lot for this rare and amazing coin
  9. I bought in eBay one of each for my collection, last year, and according to the data that I have: Nazca Lines Condor: Five editions LE (50 each): Antique Silver & Red, Polished Nickel & Blue, Polished Nickel & Red/Orange, Antique Bronze, Antique Bronze & Turqoise. Label by landsharkz.ca Nazca Spider: I've seen four editions LE (40 each): Shiny Gold & Purple, Nickel & Blue, Nickel & Green, Nickel & Black. Labeled by montereycoins.com I think both coins are from 2010
  10. Finally I made another version in shiny copper, because the stills are made of this metal The picture was made ​​with natural light to avoid reflections, which has many. If you like, I can send a coin for $9.00, plus shipping ($4.00) Two coins must be sent separately because it is cheaper that together due to weight. Contact me by my profile please. There are only 20 coins in this finish, and never will be reminted (nor the previous versions).
  11. Congrats anne.and.eli! I like this coin

  13. A.- 1) Monarch Butterfly 2) Coho Salmon (local to me) 3) Grey Whale 4) Canada Goose 5) Green sea turtle 6) Arctic Tern 7) North american Caribou B.- Migratory birds follow established routes Migration often is concentrated along well-established routes known as flyways, which are shaped by geographical, ecological, and even meteorological factors. Flyways typically follow mountain ranges or coastlines, and may take advantage of updrafts and other wind patterns, or avoid geographical barriers, such as (in the case of land birds) large stretches of open water. Theoretical analyses, summarized by Alerstam (2001), show that detours that increase flight distance by up to 20 percent will often be adaptive on aerodynamic grounds—a bird that loads itself with food in order to cross a long barrier flies less efficiently. However, some species show circuitous migratory routes that reflect historical range expansions and are far from optimal in ecological terms. An example is the migration of continental populations of Swainson's Thrush, which fly far east across North America before turning south via Florida to reach northern South America; this route is believed to be the consequence of a range expansion that occurred about 10,000 years ago. Detours may also be caused by differential wind conditions, predation risk, or other factors. Some large broad-winged birds rely on thermal columns of rising hot air to enable them to soar. These include many birds of prey, such as vultures, eagles, and buzzards, as well as storks. Migratory species in these groups have great difficulty crossing large bodies of water, since thermals form over land only. The Mediterranean and other seas therefore present a major obstacle to soaring birds, which are forced to cross at the narrowest points. Massive numbers of large raptors and storks pass through areas such as Gibraltar, Falsterbo, and the Bosphorus at migration times. By following established routes, some species risk predation during periods of peak migration. For example, the Eleonora's Falcon, which breeds on Mediterranean islands, has a very late breeding season, coordinated with the autumn passage of southbound passerine migrants, which it feeds to its young. A similar strategy is adopted by the Greater Noctule bat, which preys on nocturnal passerine migrants (Dondini et al. 2000; Popa-Lisseanu et al. 2007; Ibáñez et al. 2001). Despite the genetic and environmental factors that guide them along specific routes, migrating birds can still lose their way. In a phenomenon known as the "spring overshoot," birds returning to their breeding areas overshoot their destination and end up further north than intended. "Drift migrations" of birds blown off course by the wind can result in "falls" of large numbers of migrants at coastal sites. --------- New World Encyclopedia Photo: Calo Bescós Creative Commons CC-by-sa 3.0 License
  14. My second intent: A.- 1.Canada Goose 2.Arctic Tern 3.Coho Salmon 4.Moose (Alces Alces) 5.Green Sea Turtle 6.Monarch Butterfly 7.Gray Whale B.- As for migration theme, this time I've chosen this extract from an interesting article about: Migration of the Gray Whale Perhaps the most common cetacean (whale) seen in California is Eschrichtius robustus, usually called the California gray whale (or simply, the gray whale). The genus Eschrichtius is from the Danish whale biologist Eschricht. The species robustus refers to the gray whale's robust size. This species is limited to the North Pacific and is unique in that almost the entire population follows a seasonal migration along the coastline of western North America. Most other whale species have separate populations in different oceans and/or hemispheres; each population has a separate migration with different months of the year and different routes. However, almost all of the gray whales spend the summer months (June, July, and August) in the Bering Sea area between Alaska and Russia. A few even venture north into the Arctic Ocean. In the fall the majority of the population migrates south, along the west coast of Canada and the United States, ending up in the quiet lagoons of Baja California during the winter months (January, February, and March). In the spring the population returns to the Bering Sea area. This 12,000 mile roundtrip may be the longest migration of any mammal on Earth. (Recently there are a few gray whales that have been found to miss the full migration.) Marine Science Copyright 2003 Genny Anderson

  16. Absolutely. I would love to trade with as many event hosts as possible. Both before and after the events. CF30 Yes! I would also love to trade as many 11-11-11 geocoins as possible Ditto! Good idea
  17. After a quick research, and reading the previous posts , my answers for A: 1.Barn Swallow 2.Gray Whale 3.Monarch Butterfly 4.Green Sea Turtle 5.Moose (Alces Alces) 6.Coho Salmon 7.Canada Goose Regarding the question B, I found this about the Sea Turtle Migration: (I'll post a pic later). 1. Migration habits differ not only among species but also among different populations of the same species. Some sea turtle populations nest and feed in the same general areas; others migrate great distances. a. Green sea turtle populations migrate primarily along the coasts from nesting to feeding grounds. However, some populations will travel 2,094 km (1,300 miles) across the Atlantic Ocean from the Ascension Island nesting grounds to the Brazilian coast feeding grounds. b. Black sea turtles migrate along the coast from breeding areas to feeding grounds between the northern and southern extremes of their distribution range. c. Loggerheads leave foraging areas and travel on breeding migrations that range from a few to thousands of kilometers (1 kilometer = 0.62 miles). d. Kemp's ridley turtles follow two major routes in the Gulf of Mexico: one northward to the Mississippi area, the other southward to the Campeche Bank, near the Yucatan Peninsula. e. Populations of olive ridleys have been observed in large flotillas traveling between feeding and nesting grounds in the Eastern Pacific and Indian Oceans. f. Hawksbill migration studies have been limited. Evidence suggests that some hawksbill populations show cyclic nesting migrations. Other researchers have documented nonmigratory and short-distance migratory populations. g. Flatbacks move from their nesting grounds on the northern coast of Australia and islands to feeding grounds in shallow waters of northeastern Australia. Distance covered ranges from 215 to 1,300 km (134 - 807 miles). h. Leatherbacks have the longest migration of all sea turtles. They have been found more than 4,831 km (3,000 miles) from their nesting beaches. Migration habits differ among sea turtle species. Migrations may range from a few to thousands of kilometers. 2. The most common method used to track free-ranging sea turtles is flipper tagging. Although this method yields information on migration destinations, it does not reveal travel routes. 3. Recently radio, sonic, and satellite tracking have been successful in monitoring sea turtle movements. Hubbs-Sea World Research Institute has developed a radio transmitter harness for leatherback turtles. 4. Hubbs-Sea World Research Institute has developed a radio transmitter harness for leatherback turtles. Its design allows secure attachment of a transmitter without affecting turtle mobility. The harness was designed to release within several months. (©2002 Busch Entertainment Corporation)
  18. Wonderful!, now I can see all the animals
  19. Beautiful coin & funny cointest, I'll try to play Edited: I think I need a magnifying glass to see all the animals
  20. Finally, after some changes, this is the sample for 'Sometimes Water', Black Nickel with Blue, soon available at Cache Addict, along with other versions I hope you like!
