Bobcats are often seen in the daylight hours here on the Mendonoma Coast. Perhaps this Bobcat found a rodent for his/her meal and was resting in the sun. It's pretty great that Gail Jackson noticed this cat with the tufted ears and bobbed tail, as he/she is nearly camouflaged in the grass meadow.

The two rainstorms earlier this week brought 1.67 inches of rain - 2.18 season to date. Maybe we'll see some mushrooms soon!

We have had some spectacular sunsets the past several months, and that trend is continuing when it's not storming. Recently Gail Jackson took this photo of another beautiful sunset as a storm was moving out.

It's cloudy and cool here this afternoon, though we had some sun earlier!

Gail Jackson photographed this tranquil scene. Western Gulls, California Gulls and more were resting on a local beach.

And then a Peregrine Falcon arrives, undoubtedly looking for a meal.

All the Gulls weren't sleeping, though, and they all launched into the air.

It was sunny and cool this morning, but clouds are moving in this afternoon. Rain is predicted for Wednesday.

Gail Jackson photographed what we think is a young Coyote. See if you can spot him or her in Gail's photo.

I wonder how Gail knew a Coyote was in the brush! Here's a close-up of the Coyote.

It's stormy on the Mendonoma Coast today! I bet the mushrooms are loving the rain.

Gail Jackson [no relation!] wrote, "These two were across the highway from the Ross Creek Loop in Point Arena.  I first spotted the coyote on the hill, then Odin and Hugh (my sons), pointed out that there was something else on the hillside, possibly baby coyotes. After looking through my telephoto lens I could see it wasn’t coyote pups, but it was a bobcat with prey! Whoa! And the coyote was heading straight for it."

"The coyote appeared to be larger than the bobcat, but it didn’t get too close. It came down the hill and then shortly afterwards it decided to go back up the hill. The Bobcat held the prey in its mouth and arched its back to look as tall as it could."

"It all happened pretty quick. I was glad that the two didn’t fight over the food."

In this last photo, the Bobcat might be saying, "It's mine, all mine!"

Another spectacular autumn day on the Mendonoma Coast. The ocean is imitating a lake. I saw whale spouts at sunset last night, mostly likely Humpback Whales who have been feeding off our coast.
