Well...I finally got a pic and clip of these little birds!....I've been hearing them...not just in the Valley...but on the hike to Budd Lake and Ostrander too...and I heard them on the Long Day Walkabout...so I can add the Kinglet to the Species count for that day...and too the Pygmy Owl...web search last night turned up the identity of that call...haa haa haa haa.......haa.....haa......(from Animal Life in the 'valley' link:http://www.nps.gov/history/history/online_books/grinnell/birds194.htm)
in the evening walk I went out to Owl Woods to listen for them...and the big Owls too...but the Woods were quiet....but not without critters!....a little herd of Does and Fawns were gamboling about...some neat clips...a neat clip from this morning when Mama Doe and Two Fawns were on the Paths right behind the Cabin...in afternoon walk went to the Post Office...and then to vote...then to get some lunch....egg salad sandwich and potato chips...took awhile to get to picture taking!...at the Artists Grove the Blue Birds were about...and two Flickers...had hoped to see the Blue Birds...and glad to find them...hard to get close to them too!...though sometimes they fly right up to me!...went out Chapel Bridge and made the Big Loop...big clouds moving through....lots of dramatic light...the Falls are lessening fast...snow up around the Rim...and I suspect it's all freezing cold in the High Country...as it was cold hereabouts...sometimes blue sky...report this morning of Mama Doe with the Three Fawns hereabouts...hope to see them!
