Bill Budge found this Great Blue Heron reflected in the water.

Aren't these beautiful photos?

I went to the Cornell Lab of Ornithology's website to see exactly what these herons eat. They wrote, "Great Blue Herons eat nearly anything within striking distance, including fish, amphibians, reptiles, small mammals, insects, and other birds. They grab smaller prey in their strong mandibles or use their dagger-like bills to impale larger fish, often shaking them to break or relax the sharp spines before gulping them down."

Their calls sound like "awk!" You can listen for yourself at https://www.allaboutbirds.org/guide/Great_Blue_Heron/sounds

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

Bill Budge photographed the Supermoon as it was descending. Its moonlight on the Pacific Ocean looks like it's pointing at Castle Rock. With the wispy clouds, there is a moodiness to Bill's beautiful photo.

Castle Rock is off the north end of Gualala. Thanks to Bill for allowing me to share his photo with you here.

It was sunny this morning, very welcome after all the rain! This afternoon clouds moved in and it's begun to lightly rain.

Bill Budge took this photo from his home at the north end of Gualala. There is a rock formation offshore that looks like a castle. Bill found a beautiful Fogbow recently, framing Castle Rock.

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

Lots of fog this morning near the ocean, but it pulled back in most places. It's been in the mid 70's at Rick's and my place in Anchor Bay this afternoon. Beautiful!
