Carolyn Andre got this beautiful photo of a Great Blue Heron as it was just lifting off - so lovely to see.

 

And Michael Reinhart photographed this GBH basking in the sun.

These herons are year round residents of the Mendonoma Coast.

Thanks to Carolyn and Mike for allowing me to share their photos with you here.

It's been sunny and it's been foggy, with temps on the cool side. Late this afternoon, as I write this, the fog has moved back out over the ocean.
