4/20 Sparrow, hauling salmon, pumped storage, solar backlog, electric plane, Canada carbon, First Nations Power Authority

White-crowned Sparrow [Bruce Gates]

White-crowned Sparrow Zonotrichia leucophrys
White-crowned Sparrows appear each winter over much of North America to grace our gardens and favorite trails (they live in parts of the West year-round). As spring approaches, listen out for this bird’s thin, sweet whistle. Male White-crowned Sparrows do most of the singing, but sometimes females also sing. A migrating White-crowned Sparrow was once tracked moving 300 miles in a single night. Alaskan White-crowned Sparrows migrate about 2,600 miles to winter in Southern California. The oldest recorded White-crowned Sparrow lived in California and was at least 13 years, 4 months old. (All About Birds)

B.C. conservation group moves thousands of salmon that will produce millions of eggs
Members of the Mill Bay Conservation Society, a group of volunteers near Kulchyski’s home, 50 kilometres north of Victoria, have taken the fish into their own hands — literally. They have built a human-propelled salmon run, carrying thousands of spawning salmon from a fish trap in the Salish Sea, up a hillside, above several waterfalls and across the Trans-Canada Highway before releasing them into nearby Shawnigan Creek. Katharine Lake Berz reports. (Canadian Press)

Energy shift creates opening for 'world's largest batteries'
A question is hovering over the transition from fossil fuels to cleaner energy such as wind and solar: What happens when the wind doesn't blow or the sun doesn't shine? The hydropower industry says the answer is developing more pumped storage plants. They function like giant batteries, pumping water from a lower reservoir to an upper one. When power is needed, the water is released downhill through turbines. (Associated Press)

Good luck getting solar any time soon. Here’s how Bellingham, Whatcom colleges plan to help
Markus Virta wants to add six more employees to the 13-person solar installation team at Western Solar — now. The Bellingham-based business, where Virta works as director of sales and business development, is seeing the longest wait times for rooftop solar installations in the company’s history. Call Western Solar today and you might be able to get solar panels installed on your roof by January 2023, at the earliest. Ysabelle Kempe reports. (Bellingham Herald)

Arlington electric aircraft maker logs order for 75 planes
Eviation Aircraft, the Arlington company that has built a fully electric commuter airplane, got a hefty boost this week when one of the nation’s largest commuter airlines, Cape Air, signed a letter of intent to buy 75 of the Eviation Alice model. The nine-passenger airplane, which produces no carbon emissions, has been undergoing ground taxi tests since December. It is expected to take a maiden flight this year. Janice Podsada reports. (Everett Herald)

How Canada’s new carbon capture tax credit aligns (or doesn’t) with the latest climate science
In the same week the Canadian government released its latest budget with billions pledged for carbon reductions, the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change put out a daunting report calling for rapid decarbonization in order to avoid catastrophe. But are the two aligned? Drew Anderson reports. (The Narwhal)

The Coming Indigenous Power Play
Creating a First Nations Power Authority would be ‘a reconciliation project,’ says Cole Sayers, who is working to make it happen. ‘First Nations have the right to access the power grid. And being denied that is wrong.’ Zoe Yunker reports in the second of a two-part series. (The Tyee)

Wave of pollution from cruise ships expected regardless of new federal wastewater rules
Environmental groups are hoisting red flags as the cruise ship season relaunches after the easing of COVID restrictions on the West Coast despite Ottawa’s recent announcement it will roll out stricter wastewater dumping rules. The federal government’s proposed environmental regulations are ambiguous, but signal Transport Canada is starting to acknowledge cruise ships have been taking advantage of Canada’s lax standards to dump billions of litres of dirty water waste along the B.C. coast, said Anna Barford, Stand.earth’s shipping campaigner. Rochelle Baker reports. (National Observer/Island Insider)

'It's a huge deal': Federal dollars speed up Port Angeles project

4/18 Spartina, OR intertidal ecosystem, environmentalism, glacier retreat, Jamestown S'Klallam water, humpback chase

Spartina [Sound Water Stewards]

English cordgrass Spartina anglica
Spartina anglica belongs to the grass family. It is derived from hybridization between Spartina maritima, which is native to Europe and Spartina alterniflora, a native of the American East Coast. Watch for Spartina anglica in areas of mudflats, salt marsh, loose cobble or gravel beaches, and on sand beaches. This species grows and spreads rapidly in the intertidal zone not only displacing native plant species such as eelgrass (Zostera marina), but also changing the very nature of the habitat. This impacts the entire web of organisms that depend on that habitat, including invertebrates, fish, and birds. (Sound Water Stewards)

Oregon’s Intertidal Ecosystem Is Approaching a Tipping Point
Oregon’s intertidal ecosystems are recovering from disturbance more slowly than they were even a few years ago. This, combined with documented changes in community structure, suggests the ecosystem is approaching a tipping point. Rebecca Dzombak reports. (Hakai Magazine)

4/15 Dandelion, French Cr eagles, Cedar R asphalt plant, fish virus study, Black Washington outdoor barriers, week in review

Dandelion

Dandelion Taraxacum officinale
Dandelion is native to Europe but found throughout temperate regions in the Northern Hemisphere. The leaves, flowers, and root of the plant have traditionally been used in Mexican and other North American medicine. Today, dandelion is promoted as a “tonic,” as a diuretic, and for a variety of conditions, including infections and digestive symptoms. As a food, dandelion is used as a salad green and in soups, wine, and teas. The roasted root is used as a coffee substitute. We know very little about dandelion’s health effects. There’s little scientific evidence on this herb. (NIH)

$5M dream plan to create French Creek eagle sanctuary becomes a reality
The combined efforts of environmental groups, individuals and local governments have successfully raised the funds needed to purchase the French Creek Estuary, to be preserved as an eagle sanctuary. With the assistance of BC Parks Foundation, more than $5.1M in donations were raised to purchase 18 acres of estuary land and join it to the five acres of existing protected area, for a 23-acre nature reserve. It also is a realization of a dream of creating a protected eagle reserve within the forested property. (Vancouver Island Free Daily)

King County approves controversial asphalt plant near Cedar River
After years of protest, moratoriums and delays, King County has granted approval for a proposed asphalt plant to be built in Renton on the banks of the Cedar River. The permitting division of the county’s Department of Local Services ruled Thursday that the long-planned project, which has been fiercely opposed by neighbors and environmental groups, “does not pose a probable significant adverse impact to the environment,” as long as the company takes certain mitigation measures. David Gutman reports. (Seattle Times)

Why a federal salmon study that found viruses at B.C. fish farms took 10 years to be released
For ten years, Kristi Miller-Saunders could not fully disclose the results of her study that showed a virus spreading among fish-farmed salmon in British Columbia. The federal Fisheries Department in the government of Stephen Harper would not release the 2012 report into open-net fish farms, a position that continued with the Trudeau government. In March, the federal Information Commissioner ordered the Department of Fisheries and Oceans (DFO) to release the information that found pathogens among open-net fish farms in the province. The commissioner ruled that suppressing publication of the document was not justified. “The complaint is well-founded,” the commissioner said of a request to access the material. Ian Bailey reports. (Globe and Mail)

Black Washingtonians face many barriers to experiencing the outdoors, state report says
A recent survey by the Black Washingtonians Workgroup on Outdoor Recreation found fewer than 1.5% of State Parks visitors are Black.

Northern flicker [Joseph V. Higbee]

Northern flicker Colaptes auratus
Northern Flickers can be found throughout most wooded regions of North America, and they are familiar birds in most suburban environments. Unlike most other woodpeckers, Northern Flickers are principally ground feeders, though they also forage on tree trunks and limbs. They have a strongly undulating flight pattern, and they can be easily identified in flight by this pattern and their prominent white rumps. Their whinny call sounds somewhat like laughter. They also give a distinctive call that is often transcribed as klee-yer. (BirdWeb)

Controversial South Tacoma warehouse project to get public airing at Thursday meeting
Plans for a multi-building warehouse project in South Tacoma will get a public airing today (April 14).

New community solar projects targeting lower-income areas
Community solar projects have been part of the clean energy landscape in Washington since about 2005. The idea is to offer ratepayers who don’t have a good place to install solar panels at their homes - or enough funds to pay for an entire system - the chance to purchase shares in a larger project, offsite. They then get credits on their bill for the clean energy produced. Now, the City of Everett and the Snohomish County Public Utility District are partnering for a new kind of community solar project. The revenue it generates will help low income households pay their energy bills. Bellamy Pailthorp reports. (KNKX)

Log supply in B.C. forests slowly dwindling, warns think tank
The Canadian Centre for Policy Alternatives says in a new report that logging companies in B.C. are quickly cutting down available trees in the province, and that supply is dwindling.

In the Yakima Valley, tiny beetles are posing major problems for growers
The iridescent green and copper-colored bugs are creating major headaches for the state's Department of Agriculture and growers of some of Washington's biggest cash crops. State officials say trapping and eradicating this beetle will come with a multimillion dollar price tag, and it'll take several years to determine if their efforts are successful. Libby Denkmann and Noel Gasca report. (KUOW)

Skagit County farm to fight Ecology fine over water fights
In response to being fined by the Department of Ecology for irrigating without a water permit, Skagit Valley Farms stated: “It is very important to our farm to operate in full compliance with the law and we are committed to continuing to work with Ecology to come into voluntary compliance with state water rules....The Department implies that our actions purposefully harmed other farmers and fish.
