The rehabilitation center in Seward doesn’t usually get bearded seals, which live much farther north.
An unusual growth was found in a snow goose (Anser caerulescens) while it was being butchered. The growth may be related to a previous injury or illness that the bird healed from.
Usually, in March, the Bering Sea ice is reaching its thickest extent. But from the beach in Unalakleet, the full horizon is blue ocean water, punctuated infrequently by lone icebergs.
White, puffy, clouds unusually close to the land.
Heavy spring precipitation leads to strong river flow, sweeping away cabin and fish rack.
Wildfire smoke visible in Unalakleet.
Passenger experiences usually turbulent conditions on winter flights.
Birds have been reported dead or behaving strangely in communities throughout the Bering Strait region, from Shishmaref to Unalakleet and on St. Lawrence Island.
While taking photos this afternoon of the snow ice on various objects near the Native Village of Unalakleet, which was on the approximate order of 4 minutes and with very little wind (playground, grass, powerlines), my hands were cold due to the "wetness" in the air and the ambient air temperature.
Rapid weather change, with snowfall.
Using a hand-held Garmin Montana 650t unit, I took photos of the tideline in three areas.
I documented my tracks using the Garmin unit adjusting the track setting to log about every 5 feet, which was saved as a GPS Exchange (GPX) Format. From there, I imported the information into Google Earth Desktop as a KML track.
A haze surrounding the hills had a distinct smell of burned wood.
Observed fast moving weather system... as quickly as it came it abated.
Thawing permafrost is warping water and sewer lines. Along the coast and rivers, erosion is threatening the lakes that communities use for drinking water or the lagoons where they dump sewage.
About 10 miles of above-ground water and sewer lines froze in mid-January. ANTHC suspects the lines were damaged when melting permafrost caused building foundations to shift.
Unusually wet winter weather activity observed. Traveling in early February (AFE) disrupted travel due to weather conditions.
An unusual morning haze "winter fog", was observed, attributed to a layer of moist air trapped near the ground.
