On the Mendonoma Coast we see Brown Pelicans, lots and lots of them, especially this year. American White Pelicans are found inland but they disperse to the coast for winter. Paul Brewer found these non-breeders floating together on the Russian River.

It's rare for these glorious birds to come further north up the coast, but there have been a few over the years. Whenever I see them, my breath catches at their beauty.

oooo, it warmed up today. It's downright hot this afternoon, at least hot for here! 85 degrees. The next two days are going to be hot also.

Last week Paul Brewer saw this Osprey with a cabezon in its talons. It's always thrilling when the Ospreys return.

The nest Rick and I have watched through our spotting scope for more than 20 years is once again occupied. This Osprey is flying north so maybe it is one of the mated pair we are fortunate to see - Paul lives in Gualala and our place is north a few miles, in Anchor Bay.

It's a beautiful sunny day here, with some breezes. High in the low 70's. There is a fog bank over the ocean, so some areas could be in fog...like Point Arena, perhaps.

We had an odd storm come through on Wednesday 9/24, odd in that it moved from east to west. That gave the perfect conditions for a rainbow at dusk.

First is the beauty taken by Paul Brewer in Gualala.

And this beautiful rainbow taken by Cathleen Crosby at the south end of Gualala.

And finally Roxanne Holmes caught magic at Shell Beach at The Sea Ranch.

Paul Brewer found this Anna's Hummingbird feeding on the Crocosmia plants in his Gualala garden.

What a wonderful, colorful photo with our year round Anna's hummer finding nectar in this plant which is also called Coppertips.

Foggy this morning but it quickly pulled back. Temps were in the low 70's this afternoon, and the breeze picked up.

Brown Pelicans heading northward can be seen now in large flocks. I find it thrilling to see them. Even more exciting is to see one getting read to nab a fish, their preferred food source. Paul Brewer got this photo of a Brown Pelican making his move.

Brown Pelican plunge dive, beak first, to catch a fish. This is an adult pelican with its white head.

The fog has pulled back over the ocean and it's a sunny, warm day today!
