Cleo, short for Cleopatra, is one brave, young cat. She hangs out with creatures far bigger than she is. Here she is with a big Buck.

And here she is with two Bucks!

And now there are three - two Bucks and a Doe...and Cleo!

Peace on earth moments!

Thanks to Ron for allowing me to share his photos with you here, and to Carolyn Young who sent them in to me!

It's mild with some morning sun. But clouds are building up and we have a chance of rain for overnight. Then it looks like a stretch of dry weather for the rest of the week.

The Press Democrat did a wonderful article on my Sunny books and about me. If you like to see it, here is the link: https://www.pressdemocrat.com/article/news/jeanne-jackson-sea-ranch-lodge/?artslide=0

Ron McMath and Carolyn Young watched a Pileated Woodpecker looking for bugs on an old apple tree on the Gualala ridge recently. Ron took several photos of this prehistoric-looking bird. Pileateds drill rectangular-shaped holes looking for their favorite food, carpenter ants.

 If you could see this big woodpecker in flight, you'd see its wingspan is nearly thirty inches!

Pileated Woodpeckers have a very distinctive call. You can hear it at the Cornell Lab of Ornithology at this link: http://www.allaboutbirds.org/guide/pileated_woodpecker/sounds
