Other than a snowfall early in the month, December has been relatively dry on Bowen. Until today we had had about 41mm of rain for the whole month. That changed yesterday with a steady 20 hours of rain giving us another 30mm. The rain has stopped how and the wind has swung northwest, bringing clearing skies which should result in some sunny cold weather leading up to Christmas. The creeks are quite swollen, the Lagoon is brown and there is a great deal of detritus in the bay. No sight of salmon today, but everything was murky anyway.
Pine siskins are active at our feeder, coming down from the higher elevations in search of seeds to eat. They have been joined by juncos, nuthatches and steller's jays.
Happy solstice!

I honestly thought the old dam at Carter Road bridge was going to blow this afternoon. Never seen so much water raging over it. Amazing.
