A very cool sighting off the Oregon Coast yesterday shared with us by Léna Hardivillier! She was lucky enough to be on the Newport crabbing pier as the T49Bs and T50D entered Yaquina Bay. The extended T49s have a history of being seen in Oregon over the years.

Raise your hand if you recognize ecosystems are millions if not trillions of interactions, connections, cause-and-effect, etc, across just innumerable species and vagaries of landscape and microclimates such that we still haven't identified every species that lives on this marvelously complex Earth.
