Tamir Scheinok was paddle boarding in the Gualala several weeks ago. He wrote, “I have only seen Bald Eagles from a distance. This male landed about 30 feet from me and stood in the water for about ten minutes before heading off. It’s hard to describe sharing this space with him – a truly majestic creature.”

Tamir captured the moment the Bald Eagle lifted off, a magnificent photo, and what a wonderful experience for Tamir. I must say, I'm a little jealous!

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

Fog covers the Pacific Ocean today like whipped cream, which sends cool air our way. The antidote for the heat wave inland is to head for the coast!
