Enjoying the Reflections Paddling At Monte Rio On the Russian River

Tuesday November 23, 2021 Monte Rio CA.

Paddle at Monte Rio

I didn’t really have anything planned today and the sun was out nice, so.

I headed down to Monte Rio and put in my boat at the boat ramp and started down river. The wind was mostly not existent which always makes for a nice paddle.

And there was mostly no one else on the river. I only saw one guy on a paddle board all day.

Like a lake

It must have been high tide down at Jenner as most of the river was like a big lake as the high tide can back the river up in the Monte Rio area.

I paddled on by these ducks feeding along the river’s edge.

And made it down here at the Villa Grande Pool where I continued on down the river.

These cormorants and ducks watched as I paddled on by.

I was going to go down the river a couple of miles or so to the Cassini’s RV Park and then paddle back up the river.

Reflections

Nice reflections as I paddled along.

Yes a real nice day.

I paddled over here and sat by this moss for a bit before continuing on down the river.

Mergansers

These two male merganser ducks swim on by. They show up about this time of year getting ready for mating season. The females seem to be here all year long but the males seem to only show up during mating season.
