Is this the wildfire smoke from Northern Canada?
Here's the view from Fort McMurray, Alberta -- a drone video I took last week. Check out the swarm of birds at 2:30 or so in the video.
Fort McMurray had Canada's largest wildfire in 2016, and we don't have much more left to burn, but nearby smoke makes this place surreal.

Also, this is such a regular occurrence these days that we have websites that predict the smoke, like https://firesmoke.ca https://firesmoke.ca
- ipkpjersi 3y agoOther provinces are having wildfires too like Quebec and Ontario IIRC.
- mig39 3y agoYeah, a big one in Nova Scotia recently too.
- weird-fact-guy 3y agoThe largest fire in the history of the province (since colonization) is still actively burning in Nova Scotia, despite six consecutive days of rain. June 1st was also the 26th hottest day since 1871.

- cmrdporcupine 3y agoThis particular nastiness is actually coming from Northern Quebec, mostly. That's some "yummy" drone footage. I remember one summer in the mid 90s when it got like that in Edmonton for a bit. Good times.
