This is a neat shot of a Cooper’s Hawk showing the floofy undertail coverts fully floofed during nuptial display.
It’s the reason they are often mistaken for Northern Harriers. – at Berwyn, IL
@TheIneptBirder Another amazing shot of a hawk flying away. 🙄 You’d think I would’ve learned by now to be more attentive when a bunch of starlings go crazy.

It will be up to NWS survey teams to figure out how many tornadoes each storm produced and how long they lasted, but the primary supercell produced intense low-level rotation for ~500mi while the secondary cell to the south was a tornado threat for ~350mi.
Remarkable longevity!

What do YOU need today? How about a raccoon, fox, and fluffy opossum by one of the bird baths last night. Fox found some acorns or a little fallen bird seed, I think, and the opossum clearly is bulking up for the winter. So many acorns and other fallen tree bounty. #VanderWIld

Good meteorology lesson here. Smoke plume hits a stable ceiling - what we call a temperature inversion - and is forced to spread horizontally. A temp inversion is a narrow layer where temps that were decreasing with height abruptly warms, creating a layer which stops rising air.
This time-lapse from @cielodecanarias shows the interaction of the #VolcanLaPalma eruptive plume with the Temp inversion at the top of the Saharan Air Layer that forces it to move horizontally at 5300m asl. The volcano emits pulses of different intensity which causes these waves!
