Mike Reinhart wondered if this Osprey was diving for a fish.
But it turns out the water was very shallow there, so perhaps the Osprey just wanted to wade, according to Mike.
And that started the neighbors, a pair of Western Gulls, to talking!
Thanks to Mike for a fun series of photos.
It's a mixed weather bag today. Sunny early, then rain showers, then sun. And it's cool here! I know, I know...cool for the Mendonoma Coast.
Eric Zetterholm has been trying to photograph North American River Otters at the Gualala River. There is a family that lives alongside the river. Eric recently photographed one of the elusive otters as he or she dove into the water.
The Gualala River was majestic yesterday with the high tide bringing huge waves over what is left of the sandbar. I will share some photos and video of that soon.
Thanks to Eric for allowing me to share his photo with you here.
Tuesday started with rain showers. The next few days are suppose to be dry and mild. The ocean is still loud - it's quite amazing to hear.
Paul Brewer photographed a Gray Whale recently, catching part of the back, and the tail.
Paul captured the entire sequence as the whale dove.
Thanks to Paul for allowing me to share his photos with you here. To see much more of Paul's nature photography, here is the link to his website: http://www.capturingnatureswonders.com/
