Don't you think this is the most perfect photo? Perry Hoffman caught magic when he photographed this oh-so-graceful Great Blue Heron flying low along the Gualala River.

Great Blue Herons are year round residents of the Mendonoma Coast.

Thanks to Perry for allowing me to share this beautiful photo with you here!

There have been a lot of clouds today, keeping the temps mild, in the 60's. No wind, though!
