I have a huge bay laurel which is home to a great variety of birds. This Black-Headed Grosbeak is one of my favorites---sometimes he comes alone, sometimes he brings his pals---but no matter what he's always welcome!

Down at the river and most of the beach is now accessible. The water is beautiful, not quite summer green, but a nice shade of olive green. Moving too fast for boats, but the ducks like it fine. Bright sunshine. I expected to be cold and wore a coat, gloves, and scarf, and then had to take them all off. Even my fleece was too warm. A lovely lead-in to Easter Weekend and all of of our canine guests should have a great time (along with their human companions).

( 3 / 355 )Drove around to survey the beaches and all have good stretches above water now, including Drake's Beach. Sunday there was just a bit of grass available for the dogs to play, running in and out of the water, but Tuesday lots of beach was exposed and we were able to have a good romp for quite a distance. What we all know is the river comes up fast and it goes down just as fast.
The Water Agency has announced that the river flows will not be reduced as planned, so there will be plenty of water for summer water activities. Miracle March indeed!

( 3 / 359 )Breathe easy, Sonoma County, we are back to normal.
What Sonoma County Water Agency officials are calling a “Miracle March,” of heavy rainfall has pushed water supply conditions for the Russian River from “critical” to “normal,” ”
The move to normal means the water agency will not reduce Russian River flows in April.
“That means there is more water in the river system for recreation and more water in the system in the fall for the Chinook salmon run,” said Sonoma County Water Agency spokesman Brad Sherwood.
Pillsbury Lake went from 43 percent of capacity to 82 percent in 3½-weeks.
All this happened without me--I was in the desert in India. So I have the best of all worlds--missed all the rain, but it rained enough to bail out the drought fears.
And right now the sun is shining after some morning showers. All is good! We won't be dragging kayaks over gravel bars this summer!
