Several weeks ago Ron Bolander was out photographing birds, fortunately for us! He spotted this Bald Eagle soaring, a lovely photo of the majestic bird.

Ron also spotted a Long-billed Dowitcher.

And then this pair.

These shorebirds nest far to our north, in the Arctic.

Finally, Ron photographed Red-necked Phalaropes, this one in breeding plumage.

Nice day for great bird sightings for Ron! Thanks to him for allowing me to share his photos with you here.

We did have rain overnight and it was so wonderful. Over 1/3rd of an inch at our place in Anchor Bay. This morning it was quite humid and warm. There are lots of visitors here this weekend, enjoying the beauty that surrounds us on the Mendonoma Coast.
