After the Storm Hilary and earthquake, the creek has once again reclaimed its usual beauty.

Last week, we had a wonderful time at DWeb Camp in Camp Navarro, CA.

We met with our friends and people who are also working on creating a better web, but I also encountered a variety of beautiful creatures.

The three adult Acorn Woodpeckers hanging out together are actually part of one big family.

These woodpeckers like to live in groups with about a dozen or more members. They all work together to take care of their babies and find, store, and protect their food. Even after the young birds grow up, they live with the family for many years, helping the breeding woodpeckers with hatching eggs and looking after the new babies.
