Tom Eckles looked out his window in Gualala and he saw this beautiful Peregrine Falcon in the distance.
A good place to see a Peregrine is at Gualala Point Regional Park. Peregrine Falcons have been seen there looking for a meal of a tasty Duck. To hear the call of a Peregrine, here is a link to the Cornell Lab of Ornithology: https://www.allaboutbirds.org/guide/Peregrine_Falcon/sounds

On November 15th, the sunset painted the sky in the most beautiful colors. It simply took our breath away to see it. Several coast photographers kindly sent me their photos of the event. Wendy Bailey took her photo at Anchor Bay Beach.
Paul Brewer captured the view looking south from Gualala.
And Janet Kukulinsky also caught magic.
We have many beautiful sunsets here on the Mendonoma coast, but this one was pretty darn spectacular.
Thanks to Wendy, Paul and Janet for allowing me to share their photos with you here. To see much more of Paul's nature photography, here is the link to his website: http://www.capturingnatureswonders.com/
Last night's sunset was another beauty. Paul Brewer went to Hearn Gulch to photograph it.
The night before he photographed the sunset near his home in Gualala.
Two visions of loveliness, thanks to Paul. To see much more of Paul's nature photography, here is the link to his website: http://www.capturingnatureswonders.com/
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.
Diane Hichwa said this big eagle is probably in its fourth plumage before it reaches its adult plumage at age four. To see a mature Bald Eagle, here is a photo taken by Eddie Mikus a few years ago.
Bald Eagle sightings are tantalizing us with the possibility that someday soon we might have a nesting pair in the watershed of the Gualala River.
Thanks to Eddie for allowing me to share the mature Bald Eagle photo.
Richard Hansen photographed Friday night's sunset from Gualala, and what a beautiful sunset it was.
Richard's photo looks like a painting!
Thanks to Richard for allowing me to share his photo with you here.
