Watched an incredible scene last night @SanBernardinoNF — Jeffery pine split in two by lightning strike & trunk fire. Thanks to @R5_Fire_News folks for keeping it from spreading! #CAfire

@SanBernardinoNF

Here is a series of photos from 5pm yesterday to 9am this morning as the Jeffery pine burned — it was a gorgeous 200+ year old healthy tree that had an unlucky day @SanBernardinoNF #CAfire

@SanBernardinoNF

This strike happened just across the street from the Big Bear Lake airport — we saw the flash & heard it hit from the house we were staying in 1/4 mile away — incredible. Full details from @SanBernardinoNF here:

I *love* the Santa Cruz River. I devote an obscene amount of time to this river that flows through the city I live and will die in. But geez do the complex water and management politics turn my hair gray overnight.

(a mini-thread)

Historically, the Santa Cruz River was a wildly dynamic desert river— through cycles of drought and flood, it meandered across a broad floodplain— but it had year-round water and lots of native aquatic species #Tucson google.com/amp/s/tucson.c…

But Spanish and Anglo settlers used up that water, pumped down the aquifer, and then built houses and business on that floodplain, and created a flood control channel to confine the usually-dry Santa Cruz River #Tucson

2018 was a dumpster fire of a year, so I’m going to end it positively, with a thread of my favorite birds from our trip to Ecuador in July #birdtherapy

1. Golden-tailed sapphire

Does it get much better than a miniature flying rainbow flag? I think not. Score: 10/10

2. Wire-crested thorntail

This tiny hummingbird wins the prize for “most-like-a-toy-bird-instead-of-an-actual-bird”. Score: 10/10
