FROM TODAY'S FEATURED ARTICLE

The common tern (Sterna hirundo) is a seabird with four subspecies breeding in
temperate and subarctic regions of Europe, Asia and North America. This tern is
migratory, wintering in warmer coastal regions. Adults have light grey
upperparts, whiter underparts, a black cap, orange-red legs, and a narrow
pointed black-tipped red or all-black bill. The bird nests on any flat bare
surface close to water, including rafts. The nest is a scrape lined with
whatever is available. It lays up to three blotchy camouflaged eggs, incubated
by both sexes, that hatch in around 21 to 22 days. The downy chicks fledge in 22
to 28 days. This tern feeds by plunge-diving for fish in the sea or freshwater.
Eggs and young are vulnerable to predation by mammals and large birds. The
common tern's large population and huge breeding range mean that it is classed
as being of least concern. Despite international protection, in some areas
populations are threatened by habitat loss or the disturbance of breeding
colonies. (Full article...)

TODAY'S FEATURED PICTURE

Les Troyens is a grand opera in five acts by Hector Berlioz with a
French-language libretto written by the composer himself based on Virgil's
Aeneid. The score was composed between 1856 and 1858, but Berlioz did not live
long enough to see the work performed in its entirety. However, the last three
acts, substantially abridged, were performed during his lifetime under the title
Les Troyens à Carthage by Léon Carvalho's company, the Théâtre Lyrique, in Paris
in 1863. For this performance, Berlioz added an orchestral introduction and a
prologue. He was not happy with the result, noting bitterly that he had agreed
to let Carvalho do it "despite the manifest impossibility of his doing it
properly. He had just obtained an annual subsidy of a hundred thousand francs
from the government. Nonetheless the enterprise was beyond him. His theater was
not large enough, his singers were not good enough, his chorus and orchestra
were small and weak." This is the cover of the piano–vocal score of Les Troyens,
published in 1863 by Choudens, with a lithographic illustration by Antoine
Barbizet.
