Great to see the birds doing well after your snowstorm in NYC, Kelsey. πŸ¦πŸ“ΈπŸ™

Amazing photo, Scott. I was reading the other day the Fraser Valley was quite mild this winter.

I'm trying to think where the Drake Passage is, Allan. Is it Chile? I've never seen an albatross before. Your "bird in flight" photos are so magnificent. πŸ“Έ

Very interesting & sad, Kathy. To lose a quarter of the ice in the glaciers in the Swiss Alps is very concerning.
The quote from a climate scientist, β€œI feel we’re at the point where we can see clear evidence that climate change is affecting the stability of the Alps overall,” is a wakeup call. πŸ™

I appreciate you taking the time to check it out. Yes, it is somewhat depressing. Fresh water resources are such a treasure. Enormously wealthy corporations like Coco-Cola and Pepsi just cannot keep exploiting it. πŸ’§

Climate change is affecting the Great Lakes. Evaporation is accelerating, while reducing precipitation. Warmer temperatures means less ice cover in winter, increasing evaporation. Rainfall patterns are shifting, diverting less water to feed the lakes. #watercrises 🌎

With milder, temperatures in the forecast, this will likely be the most ice the Great Lakes will have this winter season. This season reached a coverage of 50.29%, just shy of the historical average of 52%. Sources: www.weather.gov/cle/GreatLak...

I'm currently living in Central Canada near the Great Lakes, Penny. Had to look it up to make sure I had my ID correct. It's the double crested cormorants that we have here around the Great Lakes. The lakes will freeze in winter, so they're migratory. The great cormorant is primarily the east coast

A very informative article. Identification can be confusing. In Canada we have the Great Cormorant. It is interesting that shags are a different bird in the UK. Sometimes here in Canada the Great Cormorant are simply called Shags. Our other specie is the smaller double crested cormorant.

That is incredible, Francesca. I think the red-winged blackbirds are migratory.

One of the many things I love about winter is the awareness of wildlife, even though you may not see them. The tracks they leave in the snow such these left by wild turkeys. This was a large group travelling mostly single file in the same direction. #ForestFriday #AnimalTracks #wildturkey #Canada

Running Into 2026 When you usher in the New Year at the tail end of a pretty substantial winter storm, it makes me sort of wonder what kind of year will 2026 be like. Though the snow is incredibly pretty. Orillia Ma…
