Rick and I were sitting outside at Trinks restaurant in Gualala yesterday when a friend saw a Bald Eagle in a snag at the north end of the Gualala River. I had my camera in the car and got this photo using my super zoom.

Thanks to Eddie for allowing me to share the mature Bald Eagle photo.

Eddie Mikus recently spotted a beautiful Bobcat strolling through a meadow.

Bocats are also good climbers. For evidence, I submit Judy Mello's photo of a bobcat climbing a very tall fence at the B. Bryan Preserve in Point Arena.

To see a mature Bald Eagle is always a thrill. We have had several sightings of a mature Bald Eagle this winter, including a presumed mated pair at Jenner. Eddie Mikus was the lucky one to see this beauty.

Here's what Eddie wrote: “I spotted this Bald eagle out my window and he cooperated by staying perched long enough in a cypress tree on TSR Golf Links for me to take several photos. Hope this means I am going to have a lucky 2016!”

May we all be lucky in 2016, and that includes seeing a Bald Eagle!

Thanks to Eddie for allowing me to share this photo with you here.
