Dead Fish Kill from Blue Algae

As some of you may have noticed at my neighborhood pond we recently had the worst thing possible that happened in the neighborhood pond where I have lived 11 years.

At the beginning of last week I noticed two dead fish and later in the week more had died because of this mess called blue algae and blue algae is common in ponds and lakes during summer.

The smell of the dead fish was horrifying and very stinky. I could not believe how stinky dead fish acutely smelled. I was very shocked with all the fish around the pond. This is probably the biggest fish kill I have ever seen.

The water turtles we have in our pond here, do not eat blue algae instead the breathe oxygen and go back in the water and come back out again.

A few days later people from where we got these fish came out and started collecting all the dead fish which are gone now.

Hopefully this never happens again in my neighborhood pond.

Step into Nature 8

Welcome back to another adventure in this weeks Step Into Nature on my blog. Let's see what is going on for this post this week on Thursday. This is a Red Headed Woodpecker, i also photographed at Jordan Lake with the master mind Al D while on a sunrise shot with him. I got several shots of both Female and Male Red Headed woodpeckers on this dead tree along side of the shore of Jordan Lake . We often don't see these very often in central parts of North Carolina but at the Lakes of Central North Carolina, you can see them and photograph them as well. This is a Carolina Anole, I photographed at the Botanical Gardens with the marvelous walkabout trying to find lots of subjects to photograph there. We photographed many Carolina Anoles, hummingbirds and many other subjects at the Botanical Gardens. Carolina Anolies are very cool to photograph when you find them espicaily at Nc Botanical Gardens in Chapel Hill. This is a baby Cropes Grey Tree Frog which I also photographed at NC B

A another new variant of covid

There is many new variants of covid but the one we are going to talk about on this post is MU variant of covid virus. The MU variant of covid was found in Columbia , South America in January 2021. This variant has caused some outbreaks in Europe, south A,Erica and the United States. The vaccines of covid and treatments are less effective in this variant. By far this one is not spreading as quickly as the original covid variant and Delta variant of covid . But for most the quickest one of the spread of the covid variant is still the Delta variant . The symptoms are the same as the variants of the covid and delta variant. So please take extra caution around these variants.
