Hawk Owl (Surnia ulula)
Hawk Owl (Surnia ulula)
Normally there are no more than 10 individuals encountered during one season. Yet this years movement has been already more spectacular than ever. It is impossible to predict the final numbers we will have by the end of winter, but it is clear that this is the best time ever to twitch hawk owls in Estonia this winter.

The researchers focused on examining the permafrost on the continental shelf located in the northern coast of eastern Russia known as the “East Siberian Arctic Shelf.”

Researchers Natalia Shakhova and Igor Semiletov at the University of Alaska Fairbanks International Arctic Research Center have been monitoring the Arctic's greenhouse emissions for more than 10 years. They found that the Arctic Ocean has been releasing methane more than twice as what was previously thought.
The Arctic region is one the numerous natural sources of the greenhouse gas methane. The process is a long-term natural process but it is being accelerated by global warming. Current methane release has previously estimated at 0.5 megatonne per year. Most of the methane is deposited on the Arctic's permafrost - a thick subsurface layer of soil that remains on a freezing point all year round.

Fukushimas radiation plume driving sea life towards shore?
Fukushimas radiation plume driving sea life towards shore?
It began with the anchovies, miles and miles of them, their silvery blue bodies thick in the waters of Monterey Bay. Then the sea lions came, by the thousands, from up and down the California coast, and the pelicans, arriving in one long V-formation after another.
Comment: The answer to what might be driving this anomalous behavior may lie in between:
Fukushimas radiation belt: Fukushima Radiation Found In West Coast Tuna
The great plastic polution of the pacific :
'Great Pacific Garbage Patch' Plastic Has Increased Hundredfold Since the 1970s
and:
The ocean is broken
AND in a more overarching way the magnetic anomalies created by the greater cosmic environment, including the bombardment of our atmosphere of comets and meteors loading the atmosphere with cometary dust, causing changes in earth's electromagnetic field :

- The Okapi is revered in Congo and even features on banknotes
- The sub-Saharan White-winged Flufftail is one of Africa's rarest birds
The two animals are the latest additions to its Red List of Threatened Species, which now runs to a shocking 21,286 species.
However, there is good news. Two species of albatross, the leatherback turtle and the island fox native to California's Channel Islands are showing signs of recovery.
Endangered: The Okapi is a close relative of the giraffe and is revered in Congo as a national symbol
A bad odor that has settled in a large area of the city is making some people sick to their stomachs.
The Fond du Lac Dispatch Center received calls from businesses and homeowners beginning around 9:45 a.m. Friday.
"It's pretty much a mystery," said Lt. Joe Maramonte of the Fond du Lac Fire Department.
Calls started coming from the areas around Lenz Truck, Fleet Farm and then Holiday Dodge and a Fond du Lac County Airport hangar.
A crew checked an Alliant station across from Fleet Farm that injects odor into natural gas and determined that it was not the cause of the foul stench.

On Tuesday morning, yet another earthquake rocked the small Tarrant County town of Azle.
On Tuesday morning, yet another earthquake rocked the small Tarrant County town of Azle.
Azle residents are getting nervous and seismologists are trying to get to the bottom of what's going on. Some point to natural gas drilling that's happening in the Barnett Shale, a massive geological formation that covers about 20 North Texas counties. But a geophysicist with the National Earthquake Information Center says more testing is needed to make such a connection.
Azle isn't the kind of place with a Starbucks or a quaint coffee shop. But at the popular gas station, Centerpoint Kwik Stop, the morning coffee crowd could only talk about one thing:
"Bam. It was like something hit the side of my house -- and it wasn't nothing but the earthquake," Janice Hammond said.

A sinkhole has swallowed a village pond that had been lined with willow and plum tree.
A sinkhole has swallowed a village pond that had been lined with willow and plum tree.
Just outside the village, children fished in a tranquil pond bobbing with green algae and lined with willow trees, as cattle grazed nearby.
Now, Rezak Motanic gazes in disbelief down a gigantic crater where the pond used to be. It's like something from a science fiction movie: a sinkhole swallowed the water, the fish and even nearby trees.
"I sat here only a day before it happened, sipping plum brandy," Cemal Hasan said. "And then, there was panic. Fish were jumping out, and a big plum tree was pulled down like someone yanked it with a hook."
Residents of this remote north-western Bosnian village have been in shock since the pond vanished two weeks ago.
The pond was about 20 metres in diameter and about eight metres deep. Now, the "abyss", as the villagers have dubbed the crater, is some 50 metres wide and 30 metres deep - and growing.
