If you haven't seen the cover of this month's National Geographic, you need to. Also, some spectacular photos of rock climbing in Yosemite that you can see online here.
On a biology related note, today is the 226th birthday of John James Audubon. If you're not familiar with Audubon, check out his Wikipedia page here. Not only was he an incredible ornithologist, but many also credit him for starting the conservation movement in the United States.

Happy Easter!
