Any day you see dolphins feels like a gift, but Thanksgiving Day? Perfection. Sara Bogard spotted a small pod off of the Point Arena Lighthouse bluffs. And there was a calf in the pod!

If  you look closely at the smaller dolphin, you will see creases, lines on its body. These are fetal folds, showing this is a newborn, a neonate, Bottlenose Dolphin! How wonderful is that?

Sunny, warm, no wind - just about perfect if we weren't longing for rain!

NEWS FLASH! Scott and Tree Mercer saw the first, the vanguard, of the Gray Whale southward migration yesterday, Wednesday. Yes, it's begun and the show is appearing off a bluff near you!
