Gabriel Aguilar wrote, “Look what I found in the Manchester and Elk area.” Gabriel got several photographs of the big elk. And he only had antlers on one side of his head.

I learned these elks lose their antlers in late winter or early spring. And typically they do not shed together. They can shed minutes, hours or even days apart. He has probably already shed it by now and will begin growing out new, impressive antlers. Maybe this will be the year he finds several females, called cows, for his harem.

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

Cool and windy day today with lots of sunshine!

Cindy Morey has a kind heart. She wrote, “Greetings from Irish beach. I saved a family of Wild Turkeys yesterday near Manchester. I stopped to take a photo just as they crossed the road and was able to stop traffic in both directions so they were safe. I call this photo ‘Follow the Yellow Brick Road.’”

I count eight chicks or poults in Cindy’s photo, along with the mother. Nice work, Cindy!

Thanks to Cindy for allowing me to share her photo with you here.

Once again it was very foggy this morning, with brilliant sunshine in the afternoon. Looking down at Anchor Bay with a friend this afternoon was something special. The blue water sparkled in the afternoon sun, beckoning you to come and play.

Mark Simkins photographed the setting sun through trees near Manchester recently.  The sun looks huge!

We've had a lot of fog since last Saturday. But the fog lifted this afternoon and blue skies are now the rule.

The remnants of a hurricane traveled up the Mendonoma Coast. Late in the evening we had thunder and lightning, plus a smattering of rain. Kitty Wolfe captured this scene from her home in Manchester.

Mark Simkins recently sent in two photos taken in the Manchester area. The first is a Bobcat hunting in front of his house.

We have a lot of beautiful Bucks here right now as this is the time of the rut, their mating season.
