I heard a canyon wren out in the rocks as the sun set. I was inside watching Life Aquatic with Judy... but the sound is distinctive enough i heard it right through the window. Judy was asleep.

I've never heard a canyon wren so close to the ocean.

Then after it got dark, after everyone went to bed, i wandered outside. i heard waves crashing down along the beach. There are big waves, according to Jeff. it sure sounded like it was true. I could also hear the creek down below. The water level is dropping now that summer is here. Soon it will be back to the normal trickle... right now it still flows with spring runoff, although the last big storm was several months ago.

I wish i could hear the waves from my bed but my window faces the wrong way.
