Eric Zetterholm often spots the mated pair of Bald Eagles that have made the Gualala River area their home. They have been seen mating just a few days ago. The male is in the foreground.

Eric found one of the Bald Eagles had snagged a Steelhead from the Gualala River. A group of Common Ravens tried their best to get the fish from the male, even pulling on the big eagle's tail feathers!

Thanks to Eric for allowing me to share his great photos with you here.

We saw the sun today after three days of pounding rain, and it seemed like everyone was smiling in downtown Gualala. We received 9.85 inches of rain from the river-of-rain event - one of the wettest storms we've ever experienced here. Our rain total season-to-date is 47.10 inches. A normal year for us is 50 inches, so we are in great shape this year.
