Julia Faucett was visited by a Gray Fox. She wrote, “This little guy has been hanging around our property on The Sea Ranch, but then showed up on the birdbath! We caught him on camera, along with a few other visitors (e.g. Acorn Woodpeckers, Scrub Jays, and a giant Raven). Thought you might like him, he is pretty cute, especially with his tongue hanging out.”

Julia wondered if this Gray Fox was born earlier this year. Most Gray Fox kits arrive in late May, June and into July. They are full grown after six months, so it’s very possible this fox was a kit from 2023.

Thanks to Julia for allowing me to share her photos with you here.

It's sunny, breezy and beautiful here on the Mendonoma Coast today. I checked the huckleberries on Rick's and my property and the rain only enhanced them. Oh, the abundance of the huckleberries - which are wild blueberries - is simply amazing this year!

Mike Reinhart recently spotted two Gray Foxes at The Sea Ranch. I thought this close-up of one of the Gray Foxes was quite wonderful. In the second photo, I think the fox is smirking!

 

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

A spectacular clear day today, temps in the mid 60s. Some clouds are drifting by this afternoon, giving the possibility of an exceptional sunset tonight!

Mike Reinhart and his wife were taking a walk on The Sea Ranch when they came across two Gray Foxes lounging in the sun. One fox took off but this one stayed for his closeup. Or her closeup.

It's fun to see the beautiful markings on this healthy-looking Gray Fox. He/she must be living lightly on the land!

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

It was sunny this morning but clouds are pouring in, with a chance of some showers. Then we have what looks to be a dry spell for about a week.

Roland Coombs was taking a walk on The Sea Ranch when he saw a family of Gray Foxes.

Look at the kit closest to the mother - the little one is trying to nurse! Roland advises people to always take a camera when you take a walk. Good advice, which I always take.

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

Another very warm day on the Mendonoma Coast! But there's a hint of coolness in the gentle breeze, just a hint.

Spring doesn't know...

Gray Foxes are year round residents of the Mendonoma coast. It is quite normal here to see them in the daylight hours. Tracy Reaves photographed the beautiful face of a young Gray Fox.

And here she photographed an adult enjoying the sun, perhaps on the lookout for a tasty rodent.

Sunny, breezy, beautiful! I saw Humpback Whales about an half hour before sunset last night. What caught my eye was a big splash quite a ways out in the ocean. Then, as I was scanning the ocean with binoculars, I found a pod of five or six Humpbacks very close in, just passing Fish Rocks (Anchor Bay) and headed north. A wonderful way to end the day.
