Up river from the town of Jenner in Sonoma County is an Osprey nest. This year only one chick was born. Paul Brewer watched the nest for some hours several times of the past couple of weeks. Here's a photo of the newborn chick with its mother.

Paul had to wait quite a while last week to get some photos of the Dad bringing home the "bacon." Below the mother and chick are waiting...and waiting.

 Below you will see the Dad arriving with dinner.

And here the young Osprey is about to be fed.

And Paul titled the photo below, "Open wide!" 

Thanks to Paul for allowing me to share his great photos with you here. To see much more of Paul's photography, here's his website: http://www.capturingnatureswonders.com/

Here's what Carolyn wrote, "“There were two pups diving off of the moms and doing somersaults underwater. Then, back up on Mom. Moms and pups – the annual show.”

The best place to see Harbor Seal mothers with their pups is at Tide Pool Rookery off The Sea Ranch or the mouth of the Russian River at Jenner.

Thanks to Carolyn for allowing me to share her photos with you here.

Several weeks ago Peggy Berryhill was driving by Jenner when she saw a white arc in the sky - a fog bow.

Rainbows, fog bows, moon bows - they are always a treat to see. Thanks for Peggy for allowing me to share her photo with you here.

Siegfried and Gretel Matull were parked at Jenner, overlooking the mouth of the Russian River. They were watching the Harbor Seals lounging alongside the river bank when a large bird flew by. Gretel thought it was an Osprey but it turned out to be a Bald Eagle.

What a thrilling sight to see this beautiful bird, which is an adult. We continue to hope that a pair will soon nest on the Mendonoma Coast.

Thanks to Siegfried for allowing me to share his photo with you here.
