Paul Brewer photographed this male Bald Eagle in Gualala during one of our recent rainstorms.

Eric Zetterholm recently watched this Bald Eagle catch a Lamprey (a jaw-less fish) and head up river. We are thinking/hoping the female is tending to her nest in the Gualala River watershed, and the male is bringing her - and perhaps a hatchling or two! - their meal.

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

Thanks to Eric for his report/sighting. Eric will have a fun photo of the Bald Eagle in tomorrow's Independent Coast Observer to go along with my column.

The rain is over for now. Sun and breezes are the order of the day as Spring doesn't know.

Ospreys nest on the Mendonoma Coast, and it's quite wonderful seeing them dive for fish. As many of the females are currently sitting on eggs, the male brings a fish back to the nest for her to feed. Sara Bogard saw an Osprey with what I believe is a Surf Perch.

Ospreys dive with their talons extended as they enter the ocean. Here's a dramatic photo Paul Brewer took several years ago of an Osprey snagging a fish.

Thanks to Sara and Paul for allowing me to share their photos with you here.

We've had some nice, gentle rain, nearly an inch from the two storms. More to come but this afternoon is quite beautiful with dramatic clouds interspersed with sunshine.

Paul Brewer recently photographed a mother/calf pair as they swam northward past Gualala. In the first photo the calf breached!

Here's another look at the calf.

And here is the calf with his or her mother. The calf is on the right.

Gray Whale mothers only have one calf per year. She will feed her calf nutrient-rich milk during their long migration.

Paul was photographing on a sunny day. Today we have had unexpected showers. Anytime we get the wet stuff we are happy!

Paul Brewer takes some wonderful sunset photos. This time the view to the south held all the color.

It's a beautiful day in the neighborhood - yes, we recently watched that excellent film with Tom Hanks. We loved it. It's sunny with gentle breezes today. You'd think it was a normal spring day...

As our parks and trails to beaches are closed off due to the coronavirus, I thought today I'd show you one of my favorite photos of Hearn Gulch. Paul Brewer is the talented photographer who captured magic that day.

Paul photographed the setting sun through the sea tunnel, and the blow hole in beautiful action on the right side. When this crisis is over, perhaps you will visit this special spot, brought to us by the Redwood Coast Land Conservancy.
