2 At first, just hearing them, I thought it was woodpeckers, but they were sounding not quite right + they were staying high up in the trees (Pileated Woodpeckers spend a lot of time on the lower parts of trees) + I caught a glimpse of undersides as they flew + was seeing some reddish brown, not right for Pileated Woodpeckers. This view of the area where I saw them shows you how easy it is to *not* see birds you know very well are there..lol

Can these companies open two NWT mines on top of each other?

Last night's sunset from Fairbanks. It was 18°F, practically a heat wave after this winter.

Boreal fires in focus: 2019–2021 👀

That's 5 year old data!
Never mind that half Canada burned in the bananas years 2023 and continuing 2024.

No shit, sherlock.

Wishing all a happy and blessed season ahead (yesterday was Spring Equinox in the Northern Hemisphere, Autumn in the South). We had some springy weather earlier in the week (to at least 59C/60F) but the day itself rolled in just a few degrees above freezing (just a little below average) with some pretty fog. Rain and snow overnight and that looks about the same for the week ahead #spring #winter #sprinter #Alberta #Canada #nature #GetOutside #BorealForest
This is a really beautiful video production, as well as being very interesting in its subject: Long term satellite records confirm the #borealForest has moved north by 23 km since 1985. It's a net gain of trees, which could be helpful for #carbon sequestration #biodiversity #climateChange https://nasa-ext.app.box.com/s/zp3qyzdgsi0xfqrcnctph5117f0s3sy1

My immediate area is Mixed Wood Boreal Forest, transitioning to Aspen Parkland to the east +Foothills biome to the west. We have mainly Aspen + Balsam Poplar, White + Black Spruce, Tamarack Birch + Willow with very scattered Pine. I start to see Pine on the drive west to work in #RockyMountainHouse,
Most of them are in spots that for some reason I struggle to get decent photos of..lol Here some are highlighted in the centre of the photo

We've fed Chickadees on some cold days + they've become very bold: approaching us very keenly to beg for more food. This little bunch actually mobbed me when I was out in the bush to get firewood a few days ago-swooping close enough to almost land on me #birds #nature #Alberta #Canada 🌿📷 #BorealForest #GetOutside #ForestSpirits #BirdGoddess
