I have had numerous sightings of this beautiful Peacock on The Sea Ranch. Cheryle Harris photographed him through her window drinking out of her fountain.

Jan de Vries spotted him walking along his fence and then posing.

He is quite the beauty! We don't know where he came from, so we hope he finds his way home.

Thanks to Cheryle and Jan for allowing me to share their photos with you here.

It’s nice to toast a beautiful sunset. Monique Cooper wrote, “I took this photo Sunday in Irish Beach. I noticed this little fella, a Banana Slug, checking out my glass of wine.”

Watching the sunset is a coast tradition, apparently even for Banana Slugs!

Thanks to Monique for allowing me to share her photo with you here.

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!

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!

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.
