Jim Garlock noticed the two juvenile Bald Eagles in a tree their parents like to perch on. These are the two eagles that were hatched this year somewhere in the Gualala River watershed. Jim also photographed one of the parents high in the tree.
Welcome, Bald Eagles!
Thanks to Jim for allowing me to share his photo with you here.
Lots of cool, thick fog hugging the coast, with sunny skies a little ways inland.
First, I had to switch severs and the new one is follow.it. You do have to click on their link to activate your subscription. It is perfectly safe, but I apologize for the inconvenience.
As promised, here are more looks at the juvenile Bald Eagles that Gaily Jackson photographed on July 11 at Gualala Point Regional Park. A Peregrine Falcon began harassing the two young eagles and one of the eagles took flight.
The other had its meal in its talon and didn't want to let go.
The young bird cries out, "Stay away, you mean falcon!"
But the eagle drops his meal. "Look what you made me do, mean falcon!"
"Oh noooo!"
Here's a look at the Peregrine Falcon.
And here the Peregrine is dive bombing the mother Bald Eagle, which is probably not a good idea on the falcon's part.
wow, there was lots of action that day when Gaily Jackson had her camera so she could show us this! Thanks to Gaily for allowing me to share her photos with you here. To see much more of Gaily's photography, here is the link to her website: http://gailyimages.com/
Fog over the ocean, sunny here in Anchor Bay, lots of chickadees and pygmy nuthatches singing in the huckleberry bushes and in the trees.
