I saw that

We spotted Big Sur Flock condor "Little Great One" (with orange tag # 89) on the Henrietta Peak camera during this week's storm. She roosted there through the night and into the next morning.

Luckily they still post ED data in WA, which shows a large reduction in the past few weeks. Not at yearly lows yet but dropping quickly.

WA state county view as of 10/8

WA state

WastewaterSCAN suggests that we are at the lowest levels in years... but I am not confident in that claim without ED, NWSS or Biobot data for the few of weeks. I do miss having 4 data sets to cross compare...

The fog made this photo quite soft, leading to a painterly quality, but I like its Fall vibes.

One of my favorite arroyos in Anza Borrego desert called Mine Wash. Site of Kumeyaay village with grinding mortero rocks (3rd shot), scenic, lots of cactus & birds, ocotillo forest, and just a great place to hike around.

Some thunderstorm activity in southeastern Arizona affected the sunrise here. Looking towards the Borrego Buttes this morning.

Cool desert bird - Phainopepla. Males are sleek black with red eyes. 🪶

Painted this with a palette knife on a beautiful evening just after sunset — that moment when the light softens and the deepening colors still hold a trace of warmth. #art #artwork #painting #landscapepainting #oilpainting #pleinairpainting #sketch #paletteknife #impressionism #nature #sunset

This is what the auroral ovals looked like during the G4 (SEVERE) geomagnetic storm which was happening one year ago at this time... crazy! This would become and still is the second largest geomagnetic storm of solar cycle 25 and one of the largest storms in the past 20 years...

This Pronghorn (Antilocapra americana) mother and fawn were so wonderful to watch as they enjoyed a salad in Arches National Park! The Pronghorn is the second fastest land mammal in the world! #Wildlife #nature #photography #sweet #nationalpark

Lacking CDC data again this week, we turn to our secondary wastewater source @wastewaterscan.bsky.social 🔸The trajectory through September suggests that we may be approaching yearly lows today of 150-200k/day.

Found 4 active acorn woodpecker granary trees in the mountains today en route to the desert. Group of eight birds very busy very vocal. These really are the coolest woodpeckers. So much fun to be around. 🪶

Saint Catherine prays, an angel w a sword appears, the wheel bursts into flames, and landscape is beautiful. Because it was painted in 1515 by Joachim Patinir, master of landscape, who died OTD in 1524.

These guys can generally be found just across the Yellowstone River Bridge heading into Little America. They're beautifully photogenic.

This no longer exists. It was a plein air of the barn on a relative's property. 11*14 I just painted it too far after this. #painting #pleinair #barn

My new painting. Golden meadows, quiet pines, and a little country home — a painted moment of peace and timeless beauty. I want to live there. Oh wait, I do. 😸 will be available on the website soon. #art #artsky #artistsonbluesky #landscapepainting #BlueSkyArtShow #Make_Bluesky_Beautiful_with_Art
