Jeff and Pearl Watts put up a beautiful bird house, and they were rewarded when a pair of Violet-green swallows built a nest inside. Jeff photographed two chicks peeking out through the opening.
Here's a photo Linda Bostwick took of a male, with a feather in its beak.
Thanks to Jeff and Linda for allowing me to share their photos with you here.
Velvet is the membrane that nourishes the antlers of our local Black-tailed Deer. Christina Chapman photographed two young Bucks recently.
Jeff Watts noticed these two Deer, one a Buck, near Iversen Road, north of Gualala.
If you could touch the velvet you would find it hot to the touch!
Thanks to Christina and Jeff for allowing me to share their photos with you here.
Bobcats are thriving on the Mendonoma Coast. Their favorite meal - gophers - are abundant in meadows. One particularly handsome Bobcat has been spotted in the Iversen Road area, which is north of Anchor Bay. Jeff and Pearl Watts have been fortunate to spot this Bobcat several times. In the photo below you can clearly see this cat's tufted ears.
Thanks to Jeff for allowing me to share his beautiful photos with you here.
