Tuesday November 2, 2021 Jenner CA.
Paddle day
The weather looked good to go kayaking down at Jenner today so I took off around noon and did just that.
Headed down river
I put my boat in the water and crossed over the river and headed down river along the island’s edge headed for the mouth area by the ocean.
I passed by this great white egret fishing along the shoreline.
And by these cormorants sunning themselves.
Lots of birds
I passed by lots of birds on my way to the river’s mouth area.
The male pelicans are getting their mating plumage, white heads and necks.
More brown pelicans I paddled on by. They were resting and doing some preening.
Into the river’s mouth
I paddled into the river’s mouth and looked out into the rough Pacific Ocean.
River’s end
Then I moved on by the mouth area and down into the river’s end where there was lots of debris floating around on the water.
I sat here by this great blue heron and watched the harbor seals for a bit.
Pigeons
Then I headed back up the river when I saw something fluttering in the trees just up ahead. They turned out to be wild pigeons eating something in the trees.
I headed up the island’s back channel and by all these birds resting on the island shores.
Reflections
With the winds down there were reflections in the water of the skies as I paddled on up the river a bit.
Continuing on up the river paddling in the reflections.
I didn’t go very far up the river only about a mile and I sat and watched for a bit. These birds were sitting on the shore across from where I was sitting.
After a good break I turned my boat into the current and started my float back down towards Jenner.
Once back at the boat ramp I got my boat loaded up and drove on home for a nice nap.
Mulching
Then I was outside again hauling another row of mulch to this garden with the wheelbarrow. Only two more rows to go.
After that a little chair hopping and the day was over.
