Our Mosquito Magnet trap filled in under a week. We normally empty it once a month or so.

"No one has seen this big a whitefish before."

I have photos of four different sea cucumbers decaying, but my friend claims to have observed around 10 dead sea cucumbers.

"Since about May 25, crews have been seeing multiple species showing what we believe are signs of highly pathogenic avian influenza. The signs we are seeing widespread is a headshaking that we equate to "getting the cobwebs out", like a person may do when they first wake up. This behavior occurs regularly every couple minutes. This behavior has been observed in: black brant, cackling geese, bar-tailed godwits, dunlin, lapland longspurs, spectacled eiders, emperor geese, greater white-fronted geese, sabines gulls, glaucous gulls, and red-necked phalaropes."

There were a plenty of what appeared to be juvenile dead stickle back fish on the top of the embankment of a few ponds.

Over the past five days there have been increasing reports of unusual behavior in a variety of bird species including brant goose, snow goose, white-fronted goose, and Canada goose.

This brant was seen at Mile 16 of the Nome-Council Road exhibiting spinning behavior.

There are at least 10 or more what appears to be otherwise healthy trees that have just fallen over.

Video shows unusual circling behavior of a brant goose filmed by a local hunter near Golovin, Alaska. Although the cause is unknown, this type of behavior is according to USGS, "highly suggestive" of an infection with Highly Pathogenic Avian Influenza (HPAI).
