Got the Hairstreak pic and clip on the way to breakfast....after breakfast went out to Two Top...see if the Merganserlings might be about!....they were over in the Slough...along with two other Mallard families...one looked to be Six and almost grown up...got pics and clips of all...trying to keep up with Merganser I waded through the Slough to a sand spit...this all just downstream from Swinging Bridge...lots of rafts about...sunk in the mud up to my knees!...dissappointed...couldn't get ahead of them like I wanted...and dont know where they paddled off too...I waded over to the bridge...found a Robin bathing...and heard a snake up on the bank...it's with some reluctance I go looking for snakes!....but caught a glimpse...and a shiver!...of this one...looked to be a Racer...got a Sandpiper clip earlier at Two Top...I had gone further out in the Meadow...working around through the Pines that were scorched by the control burn....this to get on the other side of the Pond....dont know how much longer it will be wet....the Merganserlings seem to get along fine in the Merced...which has big slow areas now....dont expect I'll see them again 'till Wednesday...want to go to Tuolumne...for Hawks and Picketpins!!..sunnywarmblue...with a little wind....really nice tonight...Raccoon was cleaning up the patio tables at Last Chance!
