Brown Pelicans, Sooty Shearwaters and other birds feeding, as photographed by Scott Mercer.

Scott Mercer noticed a feeding frenzy off the Mendonoma Coast. Anchovies have been here in massive abundance. Whales, fish and birds - and who knows who else! - have been feeding on them.

Steve Bennett photographed the fun sight of Brown Pelicans coming in for a landing, with some cormorants watching.

Thanks to Scott and Steve for allowing me to share their photos with you here. To follow Scott's whale sightings, you can find him on Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/Mendonoma- Whale-and-Seal-Study-1421926098039236

Smoky and mild on the Mendonoma Coast today. We're hoping the sea breezes will pick up and disperse the smoke.
