Here's a critter you don't see every day - a Long-tailed Weasel. Mike Petrich and Karen Wilkinson found this fellow or gal on the Sonoma Coast recently.

These weasels are awfully cute, but they are fierce hunters! I did a feature article for the Press Democrat on them which you can read at this link: https://www.pressdemocrat.com/article/lifestyle/cute-cunning-long-tailed-weasels-thrive-in-sonoma-county/

Thanks to Mike for allowing me to share his photo with you here.

Another spectacular, warm day on the Mendonoma Coast. The weather people say it's going to be 20 degrees cooler tomorrow with rain coming in late Friday night into Saturday. April showers...

No totality here - just a wedge missing from the sun. Still, it's exciting to witness. Barry Weiss took this photo at 11:15 am.

Thanks to Barry for allowing me to share his photo with you here.

ah, today the weather was so nice. Low 70's, gentle breeze - a Mendonoma Coast delight!

Cooks Beach is a treasure - a pocket beach just north of Gualala. Jann Littleton photographed the sunset there recently.

Cooks Beach is brought to us by the Redwood Coast Land Conservancy. To learn more, here is their website: https://www.rclc.org/

It was chilly again this morning but the sun was bright and warm.

Kate Bloch was out on the bluffs when she saw this Great Blue Heron fly by. And there is a seasonal waterfall behind the graceful bird.

We have had a nice amount of rainfall and seasonal creeks and waterfalls are beautiful now.

Thanks to Kate for allowing me to share her photo with you here.

Sunny and windy today, and temps in the low 50s.  There was 0.75 inches in our rain gauge, giving us 54.60 season to date. 50 inches is a nice, wet winter so we're doing great!

Rozanne Rapozo was charmed by the sight of these two CA Quail perched on a cat sculpture in her garden, with one Quail right on the binoculars the cat is looking through.

The female is perched on the binocs and the male is on the tail. Cute photo!

Thanks to Rozanne for allowing me to share her photo with you here.

Wild, cold weather today. About 2/3 of an inch of rain so far and it's cold. 37 degrees this morning - that's cold for the Mendonoma Coast. I heard there was snow at Annapolis and hail just fell on the Point Arena ridge. After tomorrow, Friday, it is suppose to be sunny and warmer.
