Grey Squirrel And Hawk







After Breakfast, walked along the Bike Path a bit...Grey Squirrel pic....then paddled over to the Post Office...toy paracopter came!....box light but bulky, and almost hopped on the Shuttle for return, but wanted to look at one of the Fallen Trees, and started back along the Road...and heard Hawk, Coop, calling far ahead form the Black Oaks...took some pics as I approached...and then Indian Walked to under a Pine to below Coop...and just as I sighted Coop through the branches of the Pine, Coop flew off...some hurried shutter clicks...and the one pic!.....tried to follow, but no luck...crossed Chapel Bridge...quiet...and back to Lower Falls and the Cabin...sunny blueblue, a few small clouds, warm...report of lots of Trees down in Wawona... report of Mountain Lion tracks on Trail to the Rim...and report of 'small varmint' poking it's head up at the Train Wreck...likely Ringtail Cat...Grey Squirrel's coloration, like Kingfisher's, looks best designed for concealment on leafless snow covered branches....
