A Baird's Sandpiper was seen at the south end of Manchester Beach. David Presotto got this wonderful photo.

These sandpipers have long, tapered wings which help with their very long migration. They fly from the tip of South America all the way up to the Arctic to nest. And, once in a while, one of these beautiful birds will be found along the Mendonoma coast.

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

The fog is gone and it's warming up, just in time for the holiday weekend! Bonus sighting: Humpbacks were seen  few days ago.

David Presotto watched this Bobcat hunting unsuccessfully for a Gopher. First comes the leap.

And then the Bobcat pounces in the Gopher hole...but to no avail.

The Bobcat looks longingly at the Gopher hole, perhaps saying, "Anybody home?"

Bobcats were thought to be nocturnal, but they are often seen in the daylight hours here on the Mendonoma Coast. Fun Fact: The markings of each Bobcat are unique, just as our fingerprints are unique.

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

We are having another spectacular, sunny, warm day. It's great that we can enjoy this break because we've had so much early rain.
