Sagittarius

True to their sign, EXTREME HEAT is overly generous with the temperature, and climate change helps to feed their fiery spirit. They should never be left alone near the thermostat.

A striking contrast between the clear water in the Middle Fork Willamette River and brown water in Fall Creek. The flows from Fall Creek dam during this time had heavy loads of suspended sediment from the reservoir drawdown.

Terrible omen, or friendly pollinator?

Either way, planting native flowers and plants will help you stay on Mothman's good side! (It can't hurt, right?) By providing food and habitat, native plants can attract all manner of winged pollinators to your yard, including bees, butterflies, and moths.

Messages from beyond the grave? Don't grab the Ouija board just yet!

These messages are coming to us through the efforts of paleoecologists, who use fossils to learn how the Earth's climate has changed over time. This information can help us understand modern-day trends in climate and how to adapt to them.
