Is there anything cuter than a Gray Fox Kit? I don't think so. Here are two photos from Craig Tooley that make my case. Thanks to Craig for allowing me to share them here.
Enjoy! Jeanne Jackson, Gualala

Craig suggested the caption, "Bad breath?" It sure fits. Take a look at his photo of two Harbor Seals taken at The Sea Ranch. I hope it will make you smile!

A noticeable Red Tide occurred last Wednesday, 8/3/11, and was seen from Bodega Bay all the way up to The Sea Ranch. This was caused by an algal bloom. Craig Tooley photographed it and has allowed me to post two photos here.

The Snowy Egret is a small white Heron with black legs and yellow feet. They are found near ponds and by the ocean's shores.
To hear what they sound like, here's a link to the Cornell Lab of Ornithology: http://www.allaboutbirds.org/guide/Snowy_Egret/sounds.
What I like about Craig's photo is the Snowy Egret's head plumes. Reminds me of a bad hair day or perhaps static electricity!

Craig Tooley recently trained his long lens on a fledgling White-crowned Sparrow. As he watched a parent flew in with a nice bug. It looks like the baby isn't all that thrilled with snack and the parent in turn looks like its glaring. Here's a fun picture for you to enjoy today. Thank you, Craig!
