A big harvest this year, this group of woodpeckers have been harvesting for over 6 weeks, and have created two new granaries to store their acorns, this one on the roofs of several houses, and another on a palm tree. Normally they just use an old oak tree. It's so crazy now that they have to hop from tile to tile trying to find room for just one more acorn.
Loved this redhead's shadow too, with its big acorn revealed, and how clearly you can see how they use their tails to steady themselves.
Fascinating, innovative, super social creatures.

It turns out that 2016 had one last treasure to offer up, my son James and I spotted a whale just off the coast yesterday. It was a little far away, but a fluke's a fluke! I think it was a humpback, but I'm no expert.
This is a closer image I got earlier in 2016 - Link.

Am 07. August 2023 begann unsere 2.5 monatige Reise durch Amerika. Von Zürich ging es nach Los Angeles und nach der ersten Übernachtung ging es nach San Diego. Nach San Diego ging es vorbei am Joshua Tree National Park und nun sind wir in Las Vegas angekommen. Nach ein paar Tagen Las Vegas geht es nun weiter Richtung Duck Creek Village. Aber zuerst noch einen Zwischenstopp im Valley of Fire.
On August 7, 2023, we began our 2.5-month journey through America. We flew from Zurich to Los Angeles and, after spending the first night there, continued on to San Diego. After San Diego, we drove past Joshua Tree National Park and have now arrived in Las Vegas. After a few days in Las Vegas, we will continue on to Duck Creek Village. But first, we will make a stop in the Valley of Fire.

An aluminum pirate statue in Golden Gate Park, San Francisco. Seriously bad ass, no?
So, existential question. How do Pirates know they exist?
A: They think, therefore they Arrrrr!

My enterprising buddies, the acorn woodpeckers are also using palm trees for their granary this year. So they've got acorns stashed deep in the trunk of this palm tree, which is easily 100 foot up off the ground.

Almost like snowflakes, the stars of the globular cluster NGC 6441 sparkle peacefully in the night sky, about 13 000 light-years from the Milky Way’s galactic centre. Like snowflakes, the exact number of stars in such a cluster is difficult to discern. It is estimated that together the stars weigh 1.6 million times the mass of the Sun, making NGC 6441 one of the most massive and luminous globular clusters in the Milky Way.
NGC 6441 is host to four pulsars that each complete a single rotation in a few milliseconds. Also hidden within this cluster is JaFu 2, a planetary nebula. Despite its name, this has little to do with planets. A phase in the evolution of intermediate-mass stars, planetary nebulae last for only a few tens of thousands of years, the blink of an eye on astronomical timescales.
There are about 150 known globular clusters in the Milky Way. Globular clusters contain some of the first stars to be produced in a galaxy, but the details of their origins and evolution still elude astronomers.

The light that the NASA/ESA Hubble Space Telescope collected to create this Picture of the Week reached the telescope after a journey of 250 million years. Its source was the spiral galaxy UGC 11397, which resides in the constellation Lyra (The Lyre). At first glance, UGC 11397 appears to be an average spiral galaxy: it sports two graceful spiral arms that are illuminated by stars and defined by dark, clumpy clouds of dust.
What sets UGC 11397 apart from a typical spiral lies at its centre, where a supermassive black hole containing 174 million times the mass of the Sun is growing. As a black hole ensnares gas, dust, and even entire stars from its vicinity, this doomed matter heats up and puts on a fantastic cosmic light show. Material trapped by the black hole emits light from gamma rays to radio waves and can brighten and fade without warning. But in some galaxies, including UGC 11397, thick clouds of dust hide much of this energetic activity from view in optical light. Despite this, UGC 11397's actively growing black hole was revealed through its bright X-ray emission — high-energy light that can pierce the surrounding dust. This led astronomers to classify it as a Type 2 Seyfert galaxy, a category used for active galaxies whose central regions are hidden from view in visible light by a doughnut-shaped cloud of dust and gas.
Using Hubble, researchers will study hundreds of galaxies that, like UGC 11397, harbour a supermassive black hole that is gaining mass. The Hubble observations will help researchers weigh nearby supermassive black holes, understand how black holes grew early in the Universe’s history, and even study how stars form in the extreme environment found at the very centre of a galaxy.
[Image Description: A spiral galaxy, seen at an angle that gives it an oval shape. It has two spiral arms that curl out from the centre. They start narrow but broaden out as they wrap around the galaxy before merging into a faint halo. The galaxy’s disc is golden in the centre with a bright core, and pale blue outside that. A swirl of dark dust strands and speckled blue star-forming regions follow the arms through the disc.]

I took this picture at the end of the day yesterday in Chileno Valley. A rare splash of Fall color for this corner of California, most of our indigenous trees (which these are not) are evergreen. We're having some pretty surreal lighting because of the smoke from the Butte country fires. In fact, the dry leaves were rustling in the devil winds that are driving the fires as I took the shot.
Personally, I'm safe and really far from the actual fires, though we had a small grass fire a couple of hundred yards from my place last night, which was dealt with swiftly by the Novato Fire Department.
As the name suggests, this valley was settled by Chilean immigrants back in the day, and still farmed. Como su nombre indica, este valle fue poblado por inmigrantes chilenos en el pasado, y aún se cultiva.

The stately and inclined spiral galaxy NGC 3511 is the subject of this NASA/ESA Hubble Space Telescope Picture of the Week. The galaxy is located 43 million light-years away in the constellation Crater (The Cup). From Hubble’s vantage point in orbit around Earth, NGC 3511 is tilted by about 70 degrees, intermediate between face-on galaxies that display picture-perfect spiral arms and edge-on galaxies that reveal only their dense, flattened discs.
Astronomers are studying NGC 3511 as part of a survey of the star formation cycle in nearby galaxies. For this observing programme, Hubble will record the appearance of 55 local galaxies using five filters that allow in different wavelengths, or colours, of light.
One of these filters allows only a specific wavelength of red light to pass through. Giant clouds of hydrogen gas glow in this red colour when energised by ultraviolet light from hot young stars. As this image shows, NGC 3511 contains many of these bright red gas clouds, some of which are curled around clusters of brilliant blue stars. Hubble will help astronomers catalogue and measure the ages of these stars, which are typically less than a few million years old and several times more massive than the Sun.
[Image Description: A spiral galaxy in space. It is seen tilted at an angle, as a stormy disc filled with clouds of stars and dust. It is coloured more yellowish in the centre, and bluer out to the edge of the disc, where the ends of curved spiral arms break away from the disc. Spots of red light scattered through the galaxy mark where stars are actively forming. The galaxy is on a black background.]
