This is the time of year we see fledglings, chicks who have left their nest. Ruth Alexander photographed several Northern Flickers recently, one even perched on her window sill, looking in the window. We think this photo shows a juvenile  male.

Here is a photo by Paul Brewer of an adult, which has red on its cheeks rather than the light color in Ruth's photo.

If you look closely at a flicker's chest feathers, they look like little hearts.

Thanks to Ruth and Paul for allowing me to share their photos with you here. To see much more of Paul's nature photography, here is his website: http://www.capturingnatureswonders.com/

Paul Brewer photographed this Bushtit, seemingly posing just for him.

Bushtits are small songbirds. I love how they look for insects, oftentimes upside down! They often can be found with the flocks of Chestnut-backed Chickadees that we also have in our area.

Bushtits don't really have a song. Their calls are a high chipping sound. You can listen to their calls at this link to the Cornell Lab of Ornithology: https://www.allaboutbirds.org/guide/Bushtit/sounds

Today's weather report is the same as yesterday - sunny and breezy!

Paul Brewer recently photographed this Gray Whale calf spyhopping.

You can see the calf's mother on the left side of Paul's photo. Spyhopping is when a whale comes out of the water vertically, seemingly taking a look around. Maybe the calf was taking at look at the Brewers! These Grays are headed northward to their feeding grounds in the Arctic.

We are having cool weather with a high fog today. Warmer weather is to return next week.

Beautiful sunsets delight the senses. The colors are set off by the Pacific Ocean. Paul Brewer photographed this sunset a few weeks ago.

One last small storm this afternoon/evening and then the weather is predicted to be sunny and warmer. Sounds like a good week to be on the Mendonoma coast!

Paul Brewer trained his camera on a Allen's Hummingbird feeding on his Pride of Madeira plant. Allen's Hummingbirds are migrating through our area.

Paul also photographed our year-round hummingbird, an Anna's Hummingbird. I believe there is a drop of nectar on this hummer's beak.

Thanks to Paul for allowing me to share these photos with you  here. It's not easy to photograph hummingbirds as their wings beat so fast! To see much more of Paul's nature photography, here is the link to his website: http://www.capturingnatureswonders.com/
