Michael Reinhart noticed this Common Loon with something tasty, perhaps a mollusk.

Theses birds are excellent swimmers and they can fly fast too, up to 70 MPH when migrating. They have such incredible calls which you can listen to at this link at the Cornell Lab of Ornithology: https://www.allaboutbirds.org/guide/Common_Loon/sounds Click on the second recording to hear the ethereal call. wow...

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

Sunday/Monday's rain total was 1.15 inches, a nice soaking for the wildflowers and other plants! I swear I can hear the wildflowers singing today. It's breezy today, with a big fog bank over the ocean, clouds overhead mixed with brilliant sunshine. Something for nearly everyone!
