Rozanne Rapozo caught this Spotted Towhee as it hopped up. Rozanne and three other coast photographers were over at Rick's and my place in Anchor Bay last Saturday. This is one of the photos Rozanne got that day.

Another photo is of the Violet-green Swallow nesting box under the eves of our roof, facing west. The parents have been busy feeding their chicks. When one of the parents leave, he/she might be carrying a fecal sac out of the nest. That is what Rozanne photographed here.

Having birds choose to nest on your property seems like a gift...and that gift brings joy for many days.

Thanks to Rozanne for allowing me to share her photos with you here. Bonus Fun Fact: Rozanne makes the best cheesecake in the world!

It's a lovely day here. No fog to speak of this morning and it's totally gone this afternoon. This might be the perfect weekend to be on the beautiful Mendonoma Coast!
