California Quail might be pairing up now. Paul Brewer had this male and female quail visit his garden in Gualala. The more showy male is on the left.

CA Quail are mainly seed eaters, preferring to eat on the ground. So if a Jay knocks seed out of your bird feeder, the positive might be that these beautiful birds might arrive to eat the seeds.

I've seen CA Quail take dirt baths, a fun thing to watch!

Today was clear but windy, temps in the low 60s.

Red skies in the morning, sailors take warning. This type of sunrise lets one know a storm is on the way. Paul Brewer caught some magic recently from his place in Gualala.

We had a rip roarer of a storm yesterday, Wednesday Jan. 31. Here's a look at the downpour at Rick's and my place - click on the blue link below. Yikes! We received 3.60 inches yesterday.

Paul Brewer visited Salt Point State Park recently. He found crashing waves and some beautiful waterfalls.

I'd sure like to see these waterfalls after today's storm is over - they should be in full flood!

We received more than 2 3/4 inches of rain from the previous storm, and my season to date total was 27.45 inches. It's pouring as I type this so the total will be going up...way up!

We've had stormy weather which often brings rainbows. Perry Hoffman captured magic with his photo of a rainbow over the Pacific Ocean. You'd have to swim to get that pot of gold!

Paul Brewer photographed this big rainbow in Gualala.

Chris Braley may have photographed the same rainbow as Paul but she was at the Gualala River, on the Gualala Bluff Trail.

It's always a treat to see rainbows! Thanks to Perry, Chris and Paul for allowing me to share their photos with you here.

At Rick's and my place in Anchor Bay, we received 2.75 inches of rain from the storm. 23.96 season to date. Seasonal creeks are roaring today! It's a great time to look for waterfalls.

Paul Brewer always takes his camera with him when he travels coastal roads, thank goodness. This day he headed north and found a Red-shouldered Hawk on Lighthouse Road, north of Point Arena. The meadows there attract hunting hawks.

Paul pointed out the hawk has a band on its right leg. Wish we could see numbers but no such luck.

I love the call of these forest hawks. You can hear it at this link to the Cornell Lab of Ornithology: https://www.allaboutbirds.org/guide/Red-shouldered_Hawk/sounds

It started off cool and sunny but some clouds began streaming in this afternoon. That makes for a beautiful sky!
