Sightings

There have been multiple sightings of several Red-shouldered Hawks recently. Richard Zweig photographed one perched on top of a bush.

These medium-size hawks prey on rodents, frogs and snakes. Perhaps Richard found this hawk listening for its next meal. They have a whistling call, which you can listen to here: https://www.allaboutbirds.org/guide/Red-shouldered_Hawk/sounds

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

We are having another sunny day, but there is rain coming in a few days!

Randy Jones was walking a local beach when he noticed this bit of an abalone shell in the shape of a heart.

Randy showed it to Mel Smith and me recently, and Mel took this photo on the shell resting on Randy's hand. I love seeing hearts in nature.

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

Sparkling blue skies and cool weather here on the Mendonoma coast today.

Craig Tooley was out looking for waterfalls. This is what he found just north of Greencove at The Sea Ranch. Quite a beautiful sight seen at low tide.

This time of year, the cloud show is just fantastic, as you can see in Craig's photo. Today we had early showers, followed by rainbows. That's a nice way to start your day!

Thanks to Craig for allowing me to share his photo with you here. To see much more of Craig's nature photography, here is his website: www.ruffimage.com

What a sight it was! Dave Allen captured the magic of this Supermoon.

Dave wrote, "Did anyone else get a taste of this morning's eye candy? 😉
A photograph can hardly convey the sheer beauty and absolute miracle of a rock, we call earth!"

Thanks to Dave for allowing me to share this beautiful photo with you here. To see more of Dave's photography, here is his Facebook page: https://www.facebook.com/calibrosdesign/

Over the past weekend, we had many, many showers followed by brilliant sunshine. That's a great recipe for rainbows. John Wall photographed this one through a window in his home on The Sea Ranch.

Then it started really pouring and John photographed the rainbow through a sleeting rain.

Today we have nothing but pure sunshine and a chance to dry out a bit.

Thanks to John for allowing me to share his photos with you here.
