If you look close at Pam Powell's beautiful photo, you will such exquisite details of this male California Quail.

The black feather on his head? It's actually three feathers!  These birds are pairing off now, and chicks may soon appear. I found this Fun Fact on the Cornell Lab of Ornithology's website:

"Several California Quail broods may mix after hatching, and all the parents care for the young. Adults that raise young this way tend to live longer than adults that do not."

You can listen to their calls at this link: https://www.allaboutbirds.org/guide/California_Quail/sounds

Thanks to Pam for allowing me to share her photo with you here.

It's breezy today and warm. 80 degrees this afternoon!

Fawns begin arriving around Mother's Day and continue into early summer. Pam Powell photographed a young one who seems curious about Pam.

Gaily Jackson also photographed a Fawn, this one at Gualala Point Regional Park.

The Fawn has natural camouflage, blending in well with the grasses.

Thanks to Pam and Gaily for allowing me to share their photos with you here. To see more of Gaily's nature photography, here is the link to her website: http://gailyimages.com/

We are having a sunny, breezy summer day.

The Black-tailed Deer usually begin birthing their fawns around the first of May. Clay Yale photographed twins, quickly following their mother down a road on The Sea Ranch.

Pam Powell photographed a Doe in the process of molting. This time of year, Deer lose their winter coat and grow in a summer coat. They can look quite patchy for a while, as the hair doesn't grow in evenly.

And, my, what big ears this Doe has! Thanks to Clay and Pam for allowing me to share their photos with you here.

It is cool, sunny and breezy on the coast today, after overnight showers. Beautiful clouds are scooting across the sky, making it hard to turn away from the show.
