Perry Hoffman was at the Gualala River when he saw this beautiful Bald Eagle right near the river's edge.

Then the Bald Eagle - I think this is the female of the Gualala River pair - bent over for a drink.

What a treat it is to have Bald Eagles back on the Mendonoma Coast. And they continue to expand their territory northward.

Clouds have been pouring in. A big storm is expected, especially overnight. Batten down the hatches!

Perry Hoffman was photographing this Black Oystercatcher when a big wave crashed behind him or her!

And Mike Reinhart got this interesting photo of two walking down the rocks, along with one sitting/resting in the sun.

This is what the Cornell Lab of Ornithology has to say about their calls:

"High-pitched, piping or whistling notes, given singly or in rolling, stuttering, or trilling series, often sounding like an excitable wheee as if given by a kid on a roller coaster." Listen and see what you think: https://www.allaboutbirds.org/guide/Black_Oystercatcher/sounds

Looks like our three plus weeks of dry, sunny weather is about to come to a close in a couple of days. Today was clear and nippy!

I love this photo Perry Hoffman took of a Snowy Egret in a pond at The Sea Ranch Golf Links.

Just beautiful!

The rain has moved out and we have a sunny, cool day here today. 39.15 inches so far, which is pretty amazing!

Perry Hoffman was down at the Gualala Point Regional Park for this recent sunset. Perry said no one else was on the beach, just him, a couple of Harbor Seals and quite a few Gulls.

It doesn't get much more beautiful than this!

Our clear, calm weather is coming to an end for a while, and clouds are beginning to pour in. Rain is on the way!

After a recent small storm, Perry Hoffman found this beautiful sight. The town of Gualala is on the right.

Rainbow days are to be cherished!

Today has been spectacular - brilliant sunshine, no wind, a glassy ocean, and temps in the low 70's. We know it won't last but, for today, it's enough. More than enough.
