A week or so ago David Lichtman noticed this Buck swimming up the Gualala River. This photo is a still from the video David took.

You can see David's video here: IMG_1277

In David's video, you can sense the purposefulness of this Buck. Maybe he's looking for a particular Doe! It is the mating season of the Black-tailed Deer.

Thanks to David for allowing me to share his photo and video with you here.

I thought you might enjoy seeing a photo compilation that Allen Francis put together from my Sightings presentation last Sunday at Gualala Arts. It was great fun to be able to share such wonderful Nature photos and tell the stories about the photos.

A beautiful cool day here on the Mendonoma Coast. We have some rain coming in late tomorrow! I'm wondering when the first mushrooms might appear...
