Striking a blow for salmon restoration, an osprey takes flight with a freshly-caught northern pikeminnow. Oregon and Washington pay a bounty on pikeminnows of nine inches or more, hoping to head off predation on young salmon (though not to birds, of course). Osprey have rebounded from their endangered status, the pesticide DDT was banned.

The Sunrise Fuelbreak project consists of the maintenance of the historic Sunrise Fuelbreak which was established in the 1950’s. The fuelbreak extends for 8.5 miles from Julian to Cuyamaca State Park and represents a significant fire control feature. At 300 feet wide, the fuelbreak protects the communities of Julian and outlying areas from wildfires originating in the desert to the east.
The Campo/Camp Locket Fuelbreak in the San Diego Unit extended an existing fuel break. By extending the fuel break it increased protection to near a by subdivision.

Grand Canyon National Park fire managers have been initiating prescribed pile burning during the last week of May, 2019, as weather and fuel moisture conditions allow. This photo was taken on Thursday, May 30, 2019. As part of the South Rim Piles Project, they have been burning 3,500 piles of woody debris east and west of South Entrance Road and south of Highway 64 (Desert View Drive) East. These 5'x5'x5' piles are comprised of slash left after mechanical thinning or cutting of trees within the 150 acre project area, and are being burned as part of a key objective of the project, which is to reduce the fuel load.
Smoke from the South Rim Piles Project will be most visible during ignition operations and will likely gradually diminish after ignitions are completed. Smoke impacts to Highway 64 should be minimal, but drivers are advised to move along the highway slowly with their lights on, avoid stopping in areas where fire personnel are working, and follow directions of signs and personnel. There are no road closures anticipated at this time.
Smoke will also be visible from various locations on the North and South rims, including Grand Canyon Village. Fire managers are working with the Arizona Department of Environmental Quality-Smoke Management Division to reduce and mitigate potential smoke impacts.
Prescribed fires play an important role in decreasing risks to life, resources, and property. Fire managers carefully plan prescribed fires, initiating them only under environmental conditions that are favorable to firefighter and visitor safety and achieving the desired objectives. Prescribed fire objectives include reducing accumulations of hazard fuels, maintaining the natural role of fire in a fire-adapted ecosystem, and protection of sensitive natural and cultural resources.
Information about the South Rim Piles Project can be found on Twitter @GrandCanyonNPS, on Inciweb at inciweb.nwcg.gov, or by calling 928-638-7819 for recorded fire information.

The mountains in the Black Range were formed by massive volcanic energy. And by that I mean a scale that dwarfs all of human history.
By way of comparison, we know a lot about the eruption of Krakatoa in 1883, which blasted some 18 cubic kilometers of material. At the climax of Krakatoa, the blasts sounded like nearby cannon to people 3,500 kilometers away, and the shockwaves created 100-foot tsunamis. This energy, we estimate equivalent to 200 Megatons TNT or 4 times more than the largest nuclear device tested by man.
Now here in the Black Range, some millions of years ago the land erupted in scale magnitudes greater than Krakatoa! The total material blasted we estimate at 1450-2050 cubic kilometers. Now this happened so long ago we don't know how fast it happened, so there's no way to tell if the explosions were actually more powerful than Krakatoa, or if they were of much greater duration and more continuous. But to complete the comparison imagine the most powerful bomb type set off over a thousand times. The formation of Emory Caldera and the subsequent uplift and erosion create the mountains seen here. This photo shows a portion of the Emory Caldera, but the formation is huge and difficult to differentiate on today's satellite images.
