Nepali Sherpa Known as "Everest Man" Sets Record With 31st Summit

Many people dream of climbing Mount Everest once in their lives — Nepali sherpa Kami Rita accomplished that bucket list-worthy achievement for the 31st time at 4 p.m. local time Tuesday, smashing his own record for the most summits of the world's tallest peak. The 55-year-old, known to many as "Everest Man," was guiding a group of Indian army officials up the mountain with Seven Summit Treks when he extended his record. The 31st feat comes 31 years after he summited the mountain for the first time; he's made the trek roughly once per year since 1994 while guiding clients. "Kami Rita Sherpa needs no introduction," Seven Summit Treks wrote on Instagram. "He is not just a national climbing hero, but a global symbol of Everest itself." For Kami Rita, though, it's just another day at the office: "I am glad for the record, but records are eventually broken," he told AFP last May, after hitting 30 summits. "I am more happy that my climbs help Nepal be recognized in the world."

Yard Feeders Changed a Hummingbird Species' Beak Shape, Study Finds

Hummingbird feeders do more than nourish our feathered friends with backyard buffets: A recent study found that over the last 160 years, feeders have influenced the evolution of one hummingbird species' beak shape and length, while also extending its range from a small part of California up north to Canada. "Anna's hummingbirds are kind of like the pigeons of the hummingbirds because they've expanded north with human settlement," lead study author Nicolas Alexandre told The Guardian. He added that the increased prevalence of bird feeders starting in the mid-1800s has resulted in the birds' bills becoming "more tapered and longer," which allows them to extract nectar more efficiently from the food source. To understand the phenomenon better, put yourself in the shoes (or wings?) of a hummingbird: "Imagine you have a bunch of flowers and the shape of the flower is going to constrain how efficiently you can feed from that flower. Now imagine you have this giant reservoir of nectar that's always available," Alexandre explained. "I want to get as much nectar with every drink before someone displaces me at the feeder. A longer beak with more volume is going to be advantageous." The connection between feeder prevalence and beaks also opens up questions about more than Anna's hummingbirds, as it demonstrates humanity's influence on the environment over the last century, particularly in reference to urban-adapted species. "It is a great example of how morphological change can happen really rapidly in response to an environmental change," Alexandre said.

A Public Golf Course in Nebraska Is Taking the Sport by Storm — Without Surging Prices

Nestled in a remote village of Nebraska lies a vast swath of farmland that looks like it could go on forever. But this particular tract isn't a farm of any kind — it's Landmand Golf Club, a public golf course where getting a tee time is nearly as competitive as scoring Taylor Swift tickets. This year, the course sold out all of its available tee times in 50 minutes (hence The Wall Street Journal calling it "America's toughest tee time"). But despite Landmand's popularity, owner Will Andersen has yet to raise the greens fee from $150 — which he told The Journal "is a lot, especially in this area." He added: "We felt like it was pretty dang fair for what you get and how fun it is. And we'd just rather not gouge people." Andersen, a fourth-generation farmer and avid golfer, is the visionary behind the prairie land-turned-golf course. And in the almost three years it's been open, Landmand has gone above and beyond to make golf accessible to all, from local farmers to tourists looking for a novel experience. "I've never seen demand like this," said Jake Gordon, co-founder of a company that helps manage Landmand's waitlist. "It's stratospherically above even the busiest daily courses in America."
