5:15am is when I heard first loud military aircraft flyovers, today. They're still flying over. It's way too loud for this time of day. It happens several times a week but it usually isn't done this early in the morning. The noise pollution from multiple military aircraft flyovers is affecting our quiet time, inside our home. It's really awful for our family's PTSD too.
@msquebanh What, why and where from? Sometimes we get them from Whidbey, naval air, but not for a few years. My irritable responses are holdovers from a childhood of anxiety over nuclear bomb drills. Seafair and Fleet weeks are teen recruiting and child terrorizing opportunities for military display. Let’s seek the quiet so we can hear the birds, insects, children playing. #SalishSea#military#nonukes

“It’s not a normal species you see here so it was very cool to see,” Brulot-Sawchyn said.
He was right about it being unusual, the praya dubia or giant #siphonophore generally lives in the #mesopelagic zone, 300 to 700 metres under the sea, said Moira Galbraith a #marine biologist with Fisheries and Oceans Canada.
My wife and I have been discussing what it would look like to start an #IntentionalCommunity / #cohousing project here in the #SalishSea area (US side). There are existing communities that I am looking forward to visiting, but we want to focus our efforts with folks who are #Covid cautious right now. Throwing the question into the fediverse- is this something folks are interested in?
Feb 18 is #WorldWhaleDay
We can observe two different ecotypes of orcas in the Salish Sea: the transient and the resident orcas. The transient orcas travel between California and Alaska while the resident orcas live in the Salish Sea and are listed as endangered.
Another photo taken early in the morning during my private photo tour. In the winter we often have thick fog at night and early morning. As we walk in the forest, we can hear water drops from the fog dripping from the trees. Time to be quiet and listen to the rainforest and all the creatures who inhabited it.
