Finch Beaks
Interactions
- Click the sun to make next year a drought, or the cloud to make it a wet El Niño year
- Click the grass to shake down small soft seeds, or the Tribulus mat to drop large hard fruit
- Click a finch to follow it: a pencil ring, and pencil lines to its parents, mate and chicks on stage
- Click the notebook to run the years five times faster for a few seconds
- Idle: the model runs a year in about eighteen seconds through the 1977 drought and the 1983 El Niño; a short-eared owl hunts now and then
