Snowy owl eruption = doesn't exist. Snowy owl irruption = occurs every few years. We’re seeing many snowies visiting the northern U.S. this winter. The reasons for these irruptions are complex, but food availability and an increase in owl population are possible causes.

.Volodymyr Zelenskyy / Володимир Зеленський's tv address to the Russian (!) people might be the most moving speech that I've ever seen in my entire life. The whole world needs to see, understand and share this crucial Ukrainian message. #StandWithUkraine #Ukraine #Україна #Russia #Россия

Gripe of the Day: people driving these things around #GSMNP . Noisy, needless, and they stay on the paved road… so WHY 🤷‍♂️ ppl driving them seem to consistently be at least discourteous (not using pullouts) and at worst obnoxious (loud music). National Park Service 😔
