Thank you, Alan 😊

Photo of a large nest made of tree branches/twigs, sitting in a hole in the rocky side of a cliff. In the nest is a large black bird (raven) which can be seen from behind feeding her young...only visible sign of young is a wide open beak exposing a pink inside, waiting for food.

She did a good job of hiding her nest and young, but we spotted them in the cliff face across the river.

Thanks, Alan..it was easy, he was right in my face 😊

Photo of western seagull, standing on wooden railing, facing the camera. From head to mid body-white feathers, rest of body-gray feathers. Pink, skinny legs and webbed feet.

Photo from a cliff looking down at the green ocean shoreline to see a very large, light beige rock lit up by the sun. There is a nice reflection of the rock. A smaller, dark brown is in the foreground, with a bit of water swirling around it.

I love how the sun hits the side of this rock...it really lights it up. Dinosaur Caves Park, Pismo Beach, CA

Photo of profile of Great Blue Heron standing on a post. Photo taken near dusk, but enough light for there to be a reflection of the post in the ocean water.

Thank you!

Photo of a Great Egret standing on the wet beach. Enough water to pickup a slight reflection. The bird's neck is twisted in such a way that the photo is the profile of the face and the neck looks like an 's'.

While visiting, Kona (an inside cat) enjoyed imagining what it would be like outside.

Neighbor's lantana is looking quite yellow.

Have drunk from many public water fountains...never thinking about what else has 😳

Thanks, Alan!

Releasing a rehabbed Red Tailed Hawk. A very rewarding volunteer gig we had - rehabbing/releasing hawks, owls, even an eagle once.

Thank you, Anna 🙏🏼
