Remember Comet NEOWISE?
Almost six year have passed since those Covid, comet-viewing nights…

Mount McLoughlin, Oregon’s favorite stratovolcano
Mt. McLoughlin from Siskiyou Peak (May 2026)
When we first arrived at the summit of Siskiyou Peak, Mt. McLoughlin was covered in clouds. Before we descended, 30 minutes or so later, we got a peek at the peak.

Osprey @ Hyatt Lake
Pandion haliaetus
I headed over to Hyatt Lake last week in search of bald eagles. I didn’t see any, but there was other wildlife to commune with.
The lake was much lower than it was this past September. I would have thought that it would be a bit higher this time of year. I checked with A.I. and this was the result:
“April – May (Peak Capacity): Hyatt Lake usually hits its highest water levels of the year in May.
June – August (Drawdown Phase): Water levels drop quickly. TID heavily releases stored water during these months to irrigate crops throughout the Rogue Valley.
September – October (Annual Low): The lake hits its lowest levels of the year by October. In severe drought years, the reservoir has historically been drawn down to nearly empty (less than 2% capacity).”
Not good news…
