Erin McAllister photographed a Moon Halo several weeks ago, just before some serious rain arrived.
The circle around the moon is caused by ice crystals. Moon Halos, like Sun Halos, often predict rain.
Thanks to Erin for allowing me to share her photo with you here.
Today was sunny with some drifting clouds, very chilly overnight. The sun was setting as I was writing this post, so I went out and got these two photos for you to see.
Erin McAllister noticed the female Bald Eagle on a snag in the Gualala River.
As Erin watched, the big eagle took flight and she took this video.
What struck me while watching this video is how very big she is! A female Bald Eagle's wingspan is close to seven feet!
We feel fortunate a Bald Eagle pair made the Gualala River area their home and that they successfully raised a chick this year. I will be sharing more photos of the eagle family here soon.
Thanks to Erin for allowing me to share her photo and video with you here.
It's a beautiful day on the Mendonoma Coast today, warm with a light breeze.
