A coastal ecologist friend took these photographs of sea turtle tracks on Alder Creek Beach near Manchester (Mendocino County) back in April. El Niño is bringing some unusual wildlife with it to California!

When I lived in Copenhagen I biked all over the city from one end to another, often anywhere between half an hour to an hour per ride, to go to libraries, concerts, museums, art shows, etc., all through the winter because the infrastructure there is *set up for it.*

Just a reminder that there is no safe level of wildfire smoke exposure - it's very much worth limiting time outdoors, filtering indoor air, and wearing an N95 outside. This won't be the last or worst smoke event and health impacts from repeated exposure are cumulative and long-term.
