I love flickers and see them often alongside the road where I live in Anchor Bay, near a neighbor's spring box. These woodpeckers feed mostly on the ground as they eat ants,  beetles, and other insects. Paul Brewer caught a male Northern Flicker in flight, a beautiful sight to behold.

To hear the call of this bird, here is a link to the Cornell Lab of Ornithology: https://www.allaboutbirds.org/guide/Northern_Flicker/sounds

It's clear and sunny today, with a quiet ocean. That means great visibility for spotting Gray Whales on their northward migration.

Paul wrote last Thursday, "Beautiful waves all day but awful windy to try to photograph. I braved the wind this evening and thought you might enjoy seeing what the wind brought us. However, hope the wind is gone tomorrow."

Wish I had a recording to share with you, as the waves were booming - oh, the sound was so loud! It felt like the Mendonoma Coast was shaking from the force of those waves.

We have one more storm coming in tomorrow, Wednesday, a smaller storm. After that the weather is forecast to be storm-free for the next seven days. We need to dry out a bit. I've recorded 43.65 inches in our gauge, season to date. A "normal" winter at Rick's and my place in Anchor Bay is 50 inches. So we are having a heck of a winter so far!

The last sunset of 2022 was so beautiful. The colors started out orange and yellow, and then morphed into pink and purple. Paul Brewer took this photo showing the Gualala River in the foreground, the sandbar, and the Pacific Ocean behind it.

Tricia Schuster took her photo from The Sea Ranch, perhaps a few minutes earlier than Paul's photo.

Pure loveliness! Thanks to Paul and Tricia for allowing me to share their photos with you here.

We had a short rainstorm today, but it dropped quite a bit of rain, over a half inch. A big storm is coming in Wednesday, a river of rain event. Wow!

Black-tailed Deer do swim, and they are occasionally seen in the Gualala River. Paul Brewer recently photographed four Does wading in the river.

Perhaps they were thirsty! The Gualala River looks beautiful now. Look how blue that water is!

It is a lovely day here on the Mendonoma Coast. Gentle breezes, temps in the 70s and the fog has been pushed way back. We are in for a warming trend for the next four or five days.

I love this photo Paul Brewer took at his Gualala home. The Fawn was standing facing the sunset when Paul got this wonderful photo.

Isn't it lovely?! Thanks to Paul for allowing me to share his photo with you here. To see much more of Paul's nature photography, here is his website: http://www.capturingnatureswonders.com/

Fog rolled in last night and is covering the immediate coast. It's sunny at Rick's and my place in Anchor Bay, 1/2 mile back from the Pacific Ocean. Micro climates!
