Sentient anecdotal evidence, presenting in good faith. Goal is to post citations and analysis, hoping the right intel can reach the right people at the right time to help. Focusing on SARS-CoV-2 here. Other issues are also huge and pressing, but there's value in concentrating info streams. Corrections most welcome. Greatly appreciate the zeroes.ca community's caremongering and signal-to-noise ratio. No tolerance for bad online actors of any stripe. Trying to survive in unceded territory.

Useful info for people in BC who aren't anti-vaxxers:
If you are not in one of the groups explicitly called out, you are still allowed to get a shot (as long as it has been at least three months since your previous shot).
And they are, sensibly, still free for walk-ins.

Roosevelt elk (Cervus elaphus roosevelti), also known as wapiti, one of the largest mammals on Vancouver Island. I photographed it in the fall. He was looking at its harem. Very protective.
Those wapitis are wild, not habituated to people, so it takes time and patience to locate them and then photograph them while keeping a respectful distance.

Into the green zone on #VancouverIsland and some of the most beautiful single track riding anywhere. Moss covered forest floors, giant swordferns, towering fir & cedar trees and stunning mountains.
Grateful to call this place home and the outdoor adventures it provides.

English – The Conversation | New research shows how forests can prevent floods of all sizes by Samadhee Kaluarachchi, PhD Student in Forest Hydrology, University of British Columbia
Flooding on British Columbia's Highway 11 in November 2021. (B.C. Ministry of Transportation and Transit/flickr), CC BY-NC-NDAs large floods occur more frequently worldwide, many wonder what led to such devastating events. Greenhouse gas emissions from human activities, improper land management and forest removal increase flood frequencies and severity.
Increasingly destructive floods also re-ignite debate on how we can make communities more resilient. Should we rely solely on traditional infrastructure like dikes and dams? In many regions, traditional infrastructure is aging and becoming increasingly insufficient, especially due to climate change.
As a result, some governments are adopting solutions that incorporate or mimic nature. However, while many jurisdictions have expressed interest in nature-based solutions, most have yet to implement them on appreciable scales. Funding is limited and little is known about the effectiveness of nature-based approaches.

Vancouver Island marmots will soon come out of hibernation. Some colonies are located on ski hills so they close the ski resort for a few weeks in April.
This marmot is endemic to Vancouver Island. It's an endangered species that is making a remarquable recovery thanks to marmots.org

A California sea lion surfing the waves during the herring spawn last year.
Do you know how to identify a California sea lion? They have a bump on their head.

Gulls hover over sea lions hoping to find herring scraps. The colour of the sea is due to a herring spawn. Photo taken last year.

The amount of hate being pushed out right now by alt-right and right-wing pundits and officials is downright disgusting and reprehensible.
Regardless of your social caste, gender, or other identity, you are welcome on the fediverse and at mstdn.ca.
The absolute tragedy in Tumbler Ridge is incredibly heartbreaking, and we likely will never know the whole story.
Right now, we need to hold space for the victims, the community, and make sure that those in our lives who identify as transgender know that they are loved, and always will be.

My next #SuperbOwlSunday photo is one of my favourite owl photos - two recently fledged young Barred Owls (Strix varia) on a branch. Cute, even if the sound they made wasn't! I have more photos of these two, and a video of them, in a blog post:

Be like a sea lion: eat, bark, belch, cause ruckus, sleep, repeat. 😆
Photo taken last March during the herring spawn. These sea lions overindulged on herring and were drifting in the sea.
