I think Happy³ is right.
A 54 second video of a bald eagle oiling its feathers.
Watch closely from the 45 second mark; there’s a split second where its beak appears to be upside down.
I’m not sure this will work as a posted video. If it doesn’t for you, my Google search term was:
how do bald eagles oil their feathers
The video is the TikTok one that should appear about halfway down the search page.
Bald Eagles have uropygial gland (preening gland) that produces an oily, waxy substance that helps waterproof feathers and keep them flexabile. It’s located near the base of their tail. This eagle is spreading the oil and cleaning/ protecting its feathers. #baldeagle#bird#preening#virginia#dykemarshwildlifepreserve
Having flown small planes, I’d like to know how he could determine that they were wanted men. Assuming, since they are “against crime”, that they are obeying FAA regulations and remaining at least 1000′ away from human structures and vehicles.
“Men against crime” Kind of broad-brush, non-specific, isn’t it? Are they “against” just on general principles? Which men? Do they have something in common? Do they have any super powers?
Reminds me of the Uncle Remus story “De Moon In De Millpond” with the flipsy flopsy figaloo fishes (as I recall) and the pot of gold that Brer Rabbit and Brer Terrapin had Brer Fox and Brer trying to catch with a net. Got this in a book book in 1955 as a Christmas present. My kids loved “De Wuller-De Wust” among others, as well, when I read the stories to them.
It’s things they do at the Antarctic Research Base to demonstrate actually how cold it is. When the wind is blowing (i.e. 99% of the time) they will take a damp T-Shirt outside and use it like a windsock to freeze it, then take it back indoors and stand it up on a table to demonstrate the same thing.
This photograph was taken in Montana.
By the way, it had to be staged. I lived in the territories where 40 below was common; things that big just don’t freeze that fast. SOURCE
The diagram of the interior of the statue is a link to an article about the passages in the statue, and rules and permission needed to be admitted…..
….. NONE of which the idiot base jumper pictured in your posted picture followed.
There is a legitimate way to the top of the arm though, and there’s a picture of a legitimate visitor on top of the arm in the article.
It would be helpful if the set of mathematical functions available was defined.
3 x 3 – 3 = 6
The square root of 4, plus the same, plus the same = 6.
5 / 5 + 5 = 6
6 – 6 + 6 = 6. Also the cube root of 6, plus the same, plus the same. Also 6 / 6 x 6 = 6
Are parentheses to isolate a functions results permitted?
Here is the answer from ‘Puzzles World’
The instructions mean any mathematical operators, and should also say you need to follow grouping rules too.
It’s late, and when I came up with two solutions to the 4’s puzzle I just looked for the solution.
Edited in later:
I didn’t read Liverlips’ comment before I posted this one (I read it just now), and he caught it before I did.
I had forgotten about this wonderful Batbasset serial. Great story, compelling characters, drama, suspense, and even a dash of humor. What more could you want?

I know she’s not a basset… But she’s beautiful anyway.
Buddy is not the goodest. Not by a long site. Goof.
Whippet good.

I forget they can do that….
It startles me every time. 😯
Looks like she might be oiling her feathers.
With her beak pointing up?
Not meaning that’s wrong… just that I don’t know how it works.

Clicking on the circular arrow restarts the video on my machine so it should for others’ as well.
All of my small birds have done that. As a rule, most birds necks are quite flexible.
I would never have guessed they could do that.

Might be nice if he said how many men, wanted for what, which train, what location….
Maybe he even knows their names and could give brief descriptions.
Silly details, I know….
But possibly helpful, unless guessing is part of the fun.

LINK TO THE COMIC (spanx ain’t new, see the advertisement on page 36).
Nobody said girdles were new….
There are examples of them hundreds of years older than this comic…
In fact there were linen girdles in ancient Egypt, and a couple of millennia of corsets in Europe.
…
Spanx are whole garments made of light, stretchy fabric, supposedly meant to eliminate wearing stiff girdles.
It stretches equally in all directions.
It was actually created for the space program.
“Who’s heading North – the train or the men?”
There’s no comma in the text so, following the rules of grammar, it’s the train
That’s the knack – how does that help pursuing the men?
comic book logic
I miss Stan Lee.

I wonder if the green is bioluminescence.
Those are reflections of the green cheese out of which the moon is made, of course.

If you’re using this to play the adult celebrity guessing game….
Don’t look till you’ve guessed.
Perhaps a “Grease” reunion?
I did manage to recognise them, which is fairly unusual for me.
Got them.
Half wrong, it’s my cousin Betty 😉

Took me a minute…
Frozen?
Aaagh!
Hope it doesn’t happen in the middle of cooking.
Then again, why would you be cooking your pasta carbonara outdoors in that weather?

I’ve seen it on the Internet, so it must be true!
I’ve heard of pasta “al dente,” but this is ridiculous.
My thought exactly.

Manicure.
Again: My first thought, too.
My first thought was how much of an idiot he is. 😀
Two questions:
1) How did he get up there?
2) How does he get down?
There are disrespectful idiots all over this planet.
To advertise a product, GAH!
Dunno if he did it to advertise for them, or just wore their logo to get financial backing, the way both race cars and local sports teams do.
Two answers:
1) Perseverance.
2) Gravity.
2) is easy…
I think there’s access through the statue like Statue of Liberty
The diagram of the interior of the statue is a link to an article about the passages in the statue, and rules and permission needed to be admitted…..

He is risen! (now how will he get back down).

(3 x 3) – 3 = 6
4 – √4 +4=6
5 + 5/5 =6
6 + 6 – 6 = 6
7 – 7/7 =6

(√9 x √9) – √9 =6
You don’t have to be a university grad to do arithmetic!
Still working on the 8s, which seems harder… but I have to leave, briefly. I’ll be back!
Forgot to come post….
Dunno why I didn’t think of it when I posted the rest.

Caught what?
I guess I could have been clearer.
I was referring to Liverlips’ last sentence about the need for parentheses.
I’d already used them, hoping they were allowed.
But it does say “use any of mathematical signs” (sic)
Wowie zowie!!!
Holy crimefighting caper, BatFans!
(And if you’re not a BatFan yet, you will be!)
BATBASSET is BACK!!
Yay!!
…
I’ve been asking for this!
It’s been a long time… I’ve wondered what the caped doggy duo has been up to.
So come on, you two… the BatPhone® is beeping: crime is calling, there’s no time for lying low…
These are exciting times.
…
I’m gonna pop some kibblecorn, fill my BatBasset® mug with hot chocolate…
and hunker down in front of the screen, even if it’s only a tablet.
There’s plenty of cocoa, and kibblecorn if anybody wants to come watch with me…
Though you might want to bring your own tablet. Or phone, or laptop.
My tablet is only 8″.
…
But you WILL want to watch…
I just know adventure is heading our way!
thank you, Susan…I appreciate ALL your promotional work for C&C
That’s why I get the big paycheck.
Same bat time! Same bat channel!
I had forgotten about this wonderful Batbasset serial. Great story, compelling characters, drama, suspense, and even a dash of humor. What more could you want?
It must be a Monday…..
Must be siblings.
