Great Blue Herons are so graceful as they lift off coastal bluffs. Heather Haveman recently spotted one on The Sea Ranch.
Their wingspan can be as long as six feet six inches. When they fly, their legs dangle beneath them.
On land they are often seen hunting rodents.
Watch out, tasty rodent - a Great Blue Heron is looking for lunch!
Thanks to Heather for allowing me to share her photos with you here.
Fawns continue to be born, always a charming sighting. Kathy Bishop photographed this little one nursing.
Looks like Mom lifted her leg to make access easier!
Thanks to Kathy for allowing me to share her photo with you here.
We are having spectacular weather today, with gentler breezes and sunny skies. The air has a wonderful feeling of softness, as we enjoy these last days of spring.
Rick and Teresa Denniston were out on the Point Arena-Stornetta Public Lands recently. One of their sightings was this flock of Brown Pelicans migrating north just over the bluffs. Rick said Teresa, pictured on the bluff, was wishing she could fly too.
A fun photo for you on this breezy June day here on the Mendonoma coast. Thanks to Rick for allowing me to share his photo with you here.
Eric Zetterholm spotted one of the two Bald Eagles who have been seen for months at the mouth of the Gualala River.
We didn't see any sign of nest building from the mated pair. Maybe next year. They certainly "practiced" mating a lot this spring!
Thanks to Eric for allowing me to share his photo with you here.
Everything look beautiful in the setting sun - the clouds, the Pacific Ocean, the bluffs. Larry Anderson's photo shows ice plant in bloom on the bluff tops at The Sea Ranch. The trail invites you to take a walk on the beautiful Mendonoma coast.
Thanks to Larry for allowing me to share his photo with you here!
