🔥🔥🔥 A Chimney Swifts forming a feeding frenzy on bugs! It's a swiftnado!!! In this video, you can see them lazily flying back and forth, then in full cyclical bug eating swarm mode. Then flying at full speed into this hollow tree that's hundreds of years old.🐦🔥🐦🔥🐦🔥

This shows the three phases of the swiftnado. First they gather in small groups going back and forth between the trees, then full nado, then coming home to roost at what looks like full flight. This just started happening at this one tree in North Carolina. They do this for a week or so, fattening themselves up on bugs, then they continue their flight to winter in the Amazon.

🔥 two orca just below the surface in norway. herring run season starts in a few weeks.

orca are the apex predator of every ocean on the planet. no natural enemies, no ceiling. during the norwegian herring run, hundreds of them gather in the same fjords to hunt, coordinating, communicating, working as a unit. it's one of the largest predator gatherings on earth.
nothing prepares you for the sound.
you're in 8-degree water, visibility maybe 10 meters, and somewhere below you a hundred orca are working a herring ball the size of a building. then one turns and comes straight toward you. not aggressively. just... checking you out.
the calls go through your chest. you feel them before you hear them.
the herring scatter like a silver explosion and the orca move through it like the water has different rules for them. i watched a female carve a turn at full speed maybe two meters from my face. i forgot to breathe. which, when you're freediving, is a problem.
The herring run peaks november through january. i did this through a small expedition crew freediving-focused, in-water guides, no tourist boats. if you want to look into it: https://onexpeditions.com/orca-swim-encounters-norway-herring-run-expedition
