Kate Bloch was out on the bluffs when she saw this Great Blue Heron fly by. And there is a seasonal waterfall behind the graceful bird.
We have had a nice amount of rainfall and seasonal creeks and waterfalls are beautiful now.
Thanks to Kate for allowing me to share her photo with you here.
Sunny and windy today, and temps in the low 50s. There was 0.75 inches in our rain gauge, giving us 54.60 season to date. 50 inches is a nice, wet winter so we're doing great!
Kate Bloch noticed this Great Egret in the Russian River on a misty day.
Here's what Kate wrote, "In the darkening afternoon, as the intermittent rain and fog blocked much of the light, what looked like an ivory statue appeared in the shallows of the Russian River near Jenner. When I exited the car, I could see it was a lovely Great Egret."
Great Egrets are year round residents of the Mendonoma Coast!

Kate seems to have described today's weather. It started out foggy but a light misty rain is beginning to fall. More rain to come tomorrow, Sunday. Bring it, Mother Nature!
Kate Bloch was at the right place to capture this beautiful photo of a breaching Humpback Whale. Just imagine you are in a little boat close to this big cetacean when the whale crashes back into the ocean. Talk about rocking the boat!
Humpback Whales are feeding off the Mendonoma Coast now. Mothers have been seen with their calves. Scott Mercer tells me the calves will be going off on their own soon.
Thanks to Kate for allowing me to share her photo with you here.
It's sunny and warm here today, with the breeze picking up this afternoon. It's a great time to be on the Mendonoma Coast!
