Our project centers on a Computer Game created by my students who presented a video that detailed the 24 game screens. As players answer scientific questions, they collect pieces of Leonardo's Bird. Answering all the questions correctly reveals a flying bird during a Solar Eclipse. The highlight of the performance in Albany was the flight of a model of Leonardo's Bird. We "programmed" the bird to fly circular paths above the audience and returned to our awaiting hands. | You can purchase Tim the Flying Bird from Edmund Scientific Co.,101 East Gloucester Pike Barrington NJ (609) 547 8880.

Dear Steve,
First of all I want to thank you for introducing me so graciously at the two workshops. You are extraordinary !
I have translated the names of birds contained in Leonardo's fables and legends.
There are mentioned in 15 stories. I will make a list of the birds' names in English, so the gentleman interested will be able to translate the unknown bird's name he is interested in. I'll eventually, translate the fable for him.
Name type of tale Codex 1) The Wood-lark Legend Hammer 5 r. 2) The Fox and the magpie " " 3) The Goldfinch " " 63 v. 4) The Swan "" 9 r. 5( The Ibis " " 26 u. 6) The Pelican " ' 13 r. 7) The Blackbird ' Atlantic 67 r a. 8) The Peacock Legend Ham. 10 r. 9) The Falcon, the Duck, the Drake Fable Atl. 67 v b. 10) The Willow-tree, the Pumpikin, and the Falcon " " 67 r b. 11) The Eagle " " " 12) The Swift legend Ham. 10 v. 13) The Partridge " " 8 v. 14) The and the Raven " " 5 v. 15) The Last Will of the Eagle ' ' 12 v. By the way, I remembered that when I sent you the E-Mail from The Leonardian Library in Vinci, they told me that they exchange E-Mail news almost every day with the Museum of Science in Milano. Probably they read the message I sent you, from Vinci. As soon I have a little more time, I will E-Mail them, Good night, Rina
