Paul Brewer was in Jenner when he spotted this Bald Eagle flying over the Pacific Ocean. Beneath the big eagle was a Harbor Seal.
Nice catch by Paul! He also got the mated pair standing on the beach - two beautiful, mature Bald Eagles.

Diane Bley noticed these two mature Bald Eagles perched in a tree near Goat Rock in Jenner on Friday, Oct 20th.
We have hopes that this pair will nest in the Jenner area early next year. Here is what the Cornell Lab of Ornithology says about these beautiful eagles:
"The Bald Eagle has been the national emblem of the United States since 1782 and a spiritual symbol for native people for far longer than that. These regal birds aren’t really bald, but their white-feathered heads gleam in contrast to their chocolate-brown body and wings. Look for them soaring in solitude, chasing other birds for their food, or gathering by the hundreds in winter. Once endangered by hunting and pesticides, Bald Eagles have flourished under protection."

It is surprising how weak their calls are! I didn't know that until I listened while composing this post.

I can't resist sharing such beauty with you. Photographer Paul Brewer was in Jenner when the sunset looked like this.
Breathtaking, don't you think?!
We had some welcome rain yesterday morning. We had .17 inch in our rain gauge. Not much, that's true, but September rain is always a boon.

Paul Brewer photographed a recent sunrise and sunset at Jenner. Jenner is where the Russian River empties into the Pacific Ocean.
Jenner is also where a pair of Bald Eagles has been spotted for the past several years. We think there is an active nest, as a juvenile was seen there too.

It's a lovely sight to see the sun setting at Jenner. Earlier this month Paul Brewer caught the reflection of the sunset in the Russian River, and you can see the town of Jenner on the right. Just beautiful.
Today we are having rain...lots and lots of rain. Mushrooms are appearing as if by magic. It's a special time on the Mendonoma coast.
