Meet Rocket, the newest member of the herd of endangered Roan Antelopes that make their home in Point Arena at the wildlife preserve B. Bryan Preserve.

And here is Rhonda, Rocket's mom, nursing her newborn. You'll see one of her horns is askew. Judy Mello told me Rhonda had a fight with some other mean Roan girls and this is the result. Judy called it a "bad horn day."

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

The wildlife preserve in Point Arena is once again welcoming new life. Two newborn Sable Antelopes have joined the herd.

Judy Mello, one of the owners of the Preserve, reports they are healthy and running all over the place. Did you know there are guest quarters at the preserve? Talk about a different vacation - helping endangered species and getting a serious dose of cuteness all at the same time.

Judy Mello photographed the full moon rising on March 7th at the B. Bryan Preserve in Point Arena. The Grevy's Zebras aren't paying any attention though, getting a little more dinner before darkness fell.

 And I took this photo early the next morning of the moon setting over the Pacific Ocean. A few wispy clouds decorated the moon. It was mesmerizing!

There have been lots of Gray Whale sightings this past week. I will share a few pictures with you tomorrow.

Judy Mello headed out with her camera to try and get a photo of the Kingfisher visiting a pond at the B. Bryan Preserve. Then she noticed one of the Preserve's Grevy's Zebras eating her roses! No picture of the Kingfisher but Judy got this nice one entitled, "Stop and eat the roses."

Here's a link to a newborn Grevy's Zebra at the Preserve that was startled to see a Gopher for the first time: http://www.mendonomasightings.com/2011/08/02/a-young-grevys-zebra-at-the-b-byran-preserve-in-point-arena/
