We continue to observe the two mated Bald Eagles near the mouth of the Gualala River. Several weeks ago a juvenile Bald Eagle was spotted on The Sea Ranch. Bryant Hichwa got this photo of the young eagle, which is also called an immature Bald Eagle.

It's wonderful to see these birds continue to recover from pesticide poisoning and other hardships. They are our national emblem.

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

We are have another wait-five-minutes kind of day - showers followed by brilliant sunshine with a cloud show to savor!

Paul Brewer's wife, Jacquie, called out for him to get his camera quick! There in a tree by their Gualala home was an immature Bald Eagle.

Robert Keiffer and Ron LeValley took a look at Paul's photo and determined this is a one-year old Bald Eagle, an immature. They can fly great distances, so we have no idea if this eagle was born near here, or somewhere much further away.

Here is a photo Chris Beach took of the two mature Bald Eagles, presumably a mated pair, that have been thrilling us with sightings by the mouth of the Gualala River.

And we have news that there is a confirmed Bald Eagle nest north of Gualala, on private, remote land. I was told there was an active nest last year, and again this year. Perhaps we will have a nest discovered in the watershed of the Gualala River too. These are exciting developments for those of us who love these magnificent birds of prey.

Thanks to Paul and Chris for allowing me to share their photos with you here. To see much more of Paul's nature photography, here is the link to his website: http://www.capturingnatureswonders.com/
