A Gray Whale feeding off Gualala Point Beach, as photographed by Eric Zetterholm.

Eric Zetterholm noticed this Gray Whale feeding just off of the beach at Gualala Point Regional Park.

That whale is certainly quite close to shore! We believe this is one of the younger Gray Whales that didn't migrate to points north. This whale and others are finding enough food off the Mendonoma Coast, a wonderful development.

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

Foggy and mild on the coast today.
