Windy Morning

Well..made it to Last Chance in time for eggs and sausage!...afterwards, geared up and paddled back to the Creek...happened on Mama Doe and Two Fawns right away in the Backyard...pics and clip...at Creek's End were Two Does...pics and clips...hopped over the Creek...on Lodgpole Point, think I got a clip of a new Little Bird...like a Creeper, but with Orange chest...just a brief glimpse...Little Birds about..and invisible as usual!...oh!...saw Kingfisher when I first got to the Creek...flew by like a kite without a string ....and Three Mallards too..clip and pic of Mallards..they were at Duck Harbor and heading down Creek...when I was on the other side, took some more Mallard pics and clips...paddled out past the Deer House...lots of little marker flags and fence posts about...some manner of work in progress for the Tiki Piping I imagine...continued through Bobcat Meadow to the Post Office.....little Owl painting from ebay came....walked back through the Oak Grove...no Acorn Woodpeckers about.. windy....crossed over Road at Lower Falls and back to the Deer House...Stepping Stones...and up the Swath to the Cabin...a quiet walk...save for the wind in the Trees!....cloud cover...sometimes sunlight and pale sky...cool...tonight it's supposed to be raining...but not yet...maybe in the wee hours....report of Thick Antlered Buck with Does over in the Village...friend walkedabout Two Top Pine Meadow in the evening, and reported it quiet too...except for 'Ravens playing in the wind'...earlier I saw Ravens soaring over Bobcat Meadow....oh!...I did a random search and found this article being offered by the online archives...I often find articles, but cant access them with out subscibing to these services...but looking about, I found that amazon is offering the service too...and tiki pipeing on my mind, I downloaded for a modest fee with one click:

Title: The hidden landscape of Yosemite National Park.Author: Craig E. ColtenPublication: Journal of Cultural Geography (Magazine/Journal) Date: March 22, 2005Publisher: Thomson GaleVolume: 22 Issue: 2 Page: 27(24)

Dissappointed that it only mention things up until 1930s or so...but an interesting article if one is interested in the nuts and bolts...and just where the heck the smell comes from!!

I think this links to general info about edocs:
