Illusive Bird's Name


It's a Northern Flicker. I thought it was a small hawk at first, it has a short piercing call like one. It landed in a cedar right behind the cabin early this morning, and I managed to get a blurry still...camera's batteries went dead, and the backups were dead too...forgot to charge them! All the pics blurred out because of this.


Later, the Creek was smokey from control burn across the Merced. Curious to see tomorrow what some of my favorite sit down and wait sites on that side have come too. It was right across form where the Creek meets the Merced.


The firemen do a good job. Lot of tourists canceled tour tickets though, can't see things through the smoke!
