Heron in Bodega Bay I love watching the heron fishing in front of the house, and wanted to share some recent photos with you. Typically, they’re here during low tide, along with the sandpipers. I love their focus and intensity.

Many people are surprised to learn that Bodega Bay is one of the best birding spots in all of Sonoma County. Here’s the Madrone Audobon Society’s overview, by season, of Birding in Bodega Bay.

I’ve also posted additional photos of heron fishing in front of the house in our Facebook Photo Album on Wildlife in Bodega Bay. Enjoy!

Great Video of Bodega Bay Wildlife

June 9th, 2010 | Category: Wildlife in Bodega Bay

I wanted to share this great time lapse video of the wildlife in Bodega Bay. It looks like it was taken right by “At the Bay’s Edge” as this is the experience you will have when you stay here. You will enjoy seeing seals, cormorants, heron, seagulls, brown pelicans, white pelicans, and even rays.

Many people don’t realize that Bodega Bay is one of the best places in Sonoma County for bird watching.

Enjoy!

White Pelicans – A Must-See For Your Bodega Bay Vacation!

October 5th, 2009 | Category: Videos, Wildlife in Bodega Bay

I know I’ve written about the White Pelicans here a lot….and with good reason, they’re so unique and beautiful to watch. I put together a collage of photos that I took and made a video to show you some of my best shots. I love watching them, they’re “dunkers” not divers like the brown pelicans. They glide swiftly across the water, and travel in large flocks, though they separate out to feed in smaller groups of 2-3. Anyway, enjoy the pictures and come see them for yourself!

Doran Beach in Bodega Bay

October 2nd, 2009 | Category: Local Activites and Events, Wildlife in Bodega Bay

Doran Beach is one of my favorites…for so many reasons. Here’s a picture from the south end of the beach, it’s at a medium tide so we couldn’t walk into the rocks. At lower tides it’s fun to explore all the nooks and crannies. But either way, it’s always beautiful. There are 2 miles of flat beach in a horseshoe shape. It’s very popular because it’s easy to access for surfers, kayakers, kiteflyers, horseback riding, walking, jogging, or just beachcombing.

White Pelicans Are Back in Bodega Bay!

June 2nd, 2009 | Category: Wildlife in Bodega Bay

Finally, the white pelicans are back…I’ve missed them! They usually swim in large groups in front of “At the Bay’s Edge” at low tide….they’re dunkers as opposed to divers like the brown pelicans. They’re also much bigger than the brown pelicans….takes them a bit longer to get airborne as well!
