Gail Jackson photographed this tranquil scene. Western Gulls, California Gulls and more were resting on a local beach.

And then a Peregrine Falcon arrives, undoubtedly looking for a meal.

All the Gulls weren't sleeping, though, and they all launched into the air.

Thanks to Gail for allowing me to share her photos with you here. To see much more of Gail's nature photography, here is her website: https://gailyimages.com/

It was sunny and cool this morning, but clouds are moving in this afternoon. Rain is predicted for Wednesday.
