This video is the coolest thing I’ve seen in a long time. The owl glides through a field of neutrally buoyant soap bubbles, revealing wingtip and tail vortices. The tip vortices are entrancing—I could stare for hours. The source is a new paper in JEB: jeb.biologists.org/content/2…

#DYK @ECCCWildlifeSci mapped linear and polygonal disturbances circa 2010 and 2015 in Canada's Boreal forest? Using #Landsat, a standardized process and diligent interpreters, we classified disturbances into various categories.

Finished our last 2019 field work at Long Point ON with my awesome colleagues @HrynykMorgan and @HChen320. A taste of our last field work: long walks/dense marsh, boat/ice, ATV/mud, UAV/hard landing! On our way back to Ottawa.
