Jackie Sones found an Anna's Hummingbird nest with at least one hungry chick. You can see the mother bird and the open beak of the chick.

The nest is about the size of a walnut. She has woven in lichen and moss, building her nest on the branch of a tree. If you are pruning tree branches, you need to be extra vigilant that you do not harm one of these nests.

Anna's Hummingbirds can have more than one clutch. They often have two clutches and sometimes even three!

The weather is cool and breezy, with a big  dose of some afternoon sun. A big storm to our north has brought clouds but no rain. The previous storm brought 0.33 inches of rain, and the season to date total is 59.14.

Jackie Sones was out very early a few days ago and was rewarded with a sighting of this Barn Owl, Tyto Alba. Doesn't it look like this owl is scattered with diamonds?

Jackie then watched the owl fly off into the fog. She wrote: "There was dense fog at the coast, so you could see moisture in the owl's feathers. As the owl flew off into the fog, it looked like an apparition, making us wonder if it had really been there or not."

It's warm, breezy, sunny today...but a fog bank is forming up over the Pacific Ocean.

Jackie Sones wrote, "The ocean has been pretty stormy lately, which means there's foam near shore. And where there's foam, there are bubbles. When there are bubbles, it's hard for me to resist taking a few photos. So here you go - a selection of bubble close-ups from Jan. 19, 2019.
