First, I had to switch severs and the new one is follow.it. You do have to click on their link to activate  your subscription. It is perfectly safe, but I apologize for the inconvenience.

As promised, here are more looks at the juvenile Bald Eagles that Gaily Jackson photographed on July 11 at Gualala Point Regional Park. A Peregrine Falcon began harassing the two young eagles and one of the eagles took flight.

The other had its meal in its talon and didn't want to let go.

The young bird cries out, "Stay away, you mean falcon!"

But the eagle drops his meal. "Look what  you made me do, mean falcon!"

"Oh noooo!"

Here's a look at the Peregrine Falcon.

And here the Peregrine is dive bombing the mother Bald Eagle, which is probably not a good idea on the falcon's part.

wow, there was lots of action that day when Gaily Jackson had her camera so she could show us this! Thanks to Gaily for allowing me to share her photos with you here. To see much more of Gaily's photography, here is the link to her website: http://gailyimages.com/

Fog over the ocean, sunny here in Anchor Bay, lots of chickadees and pygmy nuthatches singing in the huckleberry bushes and in the trees.

There is a mated pair of Bald Eagles who have claimed the Gualala River area as their home. We believe they had one successful chick last year, and this year it appears they have two! Gaily Jackson recently photographed the young eagles at Gualala Point Regional Park.

There's more to this story as a Peregrine Falcon came and harassed them. Gaily got some amazing photos which I will share tomorrow. Here's a preview though - it's the mother Bald Eagle, who was perched nearby her offspring, snarling at the Peregrine!

The fog lifted early this morning and we have oh-so-blue skies today.

Gaily Jackson was at Gualala Point Regional Park when she saw this Osprey looking for a meal in the Gualala River. She caught the moment when the Osprey spotted a fish.

Ospreys plunge into the water with their talons first in. Here Gaily has photographed the Osprey catching a fish.

Then the successful fisher takes flight with its meal, a Steelhead.

Ospreys are also called Sea Hawks.

We are having a beautiful day here today, a memorable day for Memorial Day!

It's peaceful  to see this Doe and her offspring drinking in the Gualala River. Gaily Jackson recently photographed this charming sight. I love how their reflection shows in the tranquil river.

Cold and foggy today!

Gualala Point Regional Park is at the northernmost corner of the Sonoma coast. It's a true gem, with a beautiful beach, the Gualala River alongside, meadows and bluffs. Gaily Jackson visited and took these photos. First she found a fledgling American Robin. The young bird might have taken its first flight and then landed on the ground.

And this Great Blue Heron, so beautiful in the air.

Then she witnessed five Great Blue Herons and a Great Egret along the Gualala River. You can see the town of Gualala behind them.

It was very foggy and cold this morning, but the sun has since been revealed - at least in Anchor Bay!
