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.

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

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.
