Mostly cool days with marine layer clouds and wind in the afternoons. Some heavy dew overnight kept the landscape a bit moist. The area filled up over the week for the annual 4th events. The campgrounds and RV parks are full. Still seeing lots of young birds in the gardens--yesterday there was a juvenile Spotted Towhee, which is good to see since that species is under pressure. The three young Ravens that have been hanging around our place are growing up quickly and will soon be on their own and we hope will leave the area for a youngsters flock. They're noisy and tend to play with things like roof vents!
