Laura Baker photographed cute Chipmunks recently.

She wrote, “I got a kick out of watching these Yellow-cheeked Chipmunks through my window today.  They were feeding on Himalayan blackberries.  They're often too shy to see, but we can hear their two-note call.  As the summer's gone on, they've gotten bolder and have shown themselves more.”

These blackberries are abundant this year, and delicious!

Thanks to Laura for allowing me to share her photo with you here.

Today we celebrate that the heatwave is over. Temps are mild with just a slight breeze. Nice!

I love seeing and hearing CA Quail. They have their chicks with them now, and they can be seen hurrying along under bushes and grasses. Ruth Downes recently photographed this male CA Quail amidst some of his offspring. He sure is a handsome fellow!

Ruth also Yellow-cheeked Chipmunks feeding right along with a CA Quail couple.

It must be summer on the Mendonoma Coast!

Thanks to Ruth for allowing me to share her photos with you here.

It's toasty warm when you get a little ways from the Pacific Ocean.
