While we "ooh and aah" over the two mature Bald Eagles seen at the mouth of the Gualala River nearly every day, there are other birds to admire. Andi Kahn recently photographed a Black Phoebe.

Black Phoebes make short flights to catch their favorite food - insects. They have a high-pitched call, which you can listen to here: https://www.allaboutbirds.org/guide/Black_Phoebe/sounds

Andi also photographed a Red-tailed Hawk resting in a tree.

Thanks to Andi for allowing me to share her photos with you here.

It seems to have been a good year for Pale Swallowtail butterflies, as there has been numerous sightings of them. Andi Kahn recently sent in this photo of one.
