Gable Woodpecker
















Shuttled over to the Post Office...walked back with just the 12x along...saw three different Woodpeckers...and Chestnut Chickadee...and that might be one flying in the clip...top pic is still from the clip...pretty amazing it caught the Chickadee in flight!!...sunny cool and very blue...oh...SLIK makes a 'clamp pod'...an attachment that clamps to the tripod's legs, and holds a second camera...'so one can film and take photos' one reviewer comments!...which was my notion in a post back aways!.....immediately sent off for it...was looking for a monopod...got that too!...and a Leki hiking pole with camera mounting thread on the top of handle...and a ball head for the monopod..those are SLIK products....I probably need to get a video tripod...one that the head has a drag adjustment... they all look clumsy and awkward...but I'm getting better with the minididgiscope...part of the problem is when tilted up it wants to flop back...it's out of balance...when I'm sighting straight on it's okay...report of small Bear track in Bear Log Woods...(have to get pic of log that looks like Bear..it's a friends favorite, and requires the right lighting to manifest, or so they say when they saw my incredulity when shown it one evening!...it's in the trees between Two Top Meadow and the Road)....and a report of a discussion with a 'big' Bear in the middle of the night on the loading dock of Last Chance...subject: a bag of trash!...dont know but that Bear won...but I haven't the full report and particulars!!...see here and there by the Creek only one Deer's tracks...dont know where they all are, and only recent sighting of Deer were the Buck with Does at Lower Falls a couple days back.....
