Paddled back to the Creek...after a Shuttle to and fro to the Post Office...prints of Furnace Creek Coyote came....thought to take a seat at the Swath Riprap, but heard Hawk over in the Deer House Oaks...crossed the Creek to looksee, but quiet...wandered about Lower Falls Stop area hopeful...finally went to Chapel Bridge...where there's clear views...and there I heard Hawk again somewhere near Creek's End...tourists on Bridge...so I went to the River's edge to look, and Hawk obliged with a flyby against the Glacier Wall....wish Hawk wasn't so far away, and blurry pic!....looks to be Red Shoulder Coop...cool...crossed the Bridge to follow...Bridge repairs pretty much finished....and was stopped in my tracks on the Path when I saw the Woodpecker Tree thereabout had fallen over!...oh!, another favorite tree down!....hmmph....makes a nice sit awhile log...which I did...no luck with Hawk, and time for work came...sunny warm and blue...slight breeze...Woodpeckers will miss their tree...it was an old Cottonwood snag, with the curious top that had a Woodpecker hole one could see right through to the sky...take awhile to find old pics...but will add sometime here...didn't know Cottonwood trunks have stubby thorns...a caution to sit on fallen ones!....at the lunch sit, the Woods were quiet...but on way back, happened on Mama Doe and Two Fawns..pics....Fawns have lost their spots....report a couple days back of Mama Doe chasing Coyote...in fact, I think that was day I saw Coyote from Shuttle...
