Spring is here! I can't wait to get out on the water but until then I've collected up this week's best posts to feed my addiction. Grab a coffee and enjoy a little outdoor time!
Onward to today’s rambling

20,000 Sounds Under the Sea 
I've spent some time thinking about our waterways and what affects them. Until I read this post by @sir-lionel I had never considered acoustic pollution. It makes sense when you think about it. Consider the marine life that uses sound for location and communication. Thanks for bringing this to our attention @sir-lionel.
The Great Monarch Butterfly Migration 
Monarch Butterflies are plentiful in Canada so I'd never really thought about their habits until I woke one morning to find a tree outside our trailer, on Lake Erie, just dripping with them. @kansuze has written a post which beautifully describes the Monarch migration and how we've been able to track them.

@fotografia has shared some amazing eye candy which shows us how the earth bounces back better and stronger after a natural disaster.
Birding in Kenya. Starlings! 
Starlings in East Africa are far more beautiful than the ones introduced to North America by the Europeans many generations ago. @timspawls has taken some amazing pictures showcasing the striking features of these "exotic" birds.
