Hairy Woodpecker

Skipped Breakfast, but had a banana and chocolate croissant to take with, and made the Big Outside Loop clockwise....pic of Falls at Cottonwood Beach...walked over the Snow through Chapel Meadow along the Merced and past the Cottonwood Grove...some of the slender Cottonwoods fallen...all towards the East...lots of tourists at Swinging Bridge...a popular day trip destination...paddled out to the Broken Cottonwood...and ate Brunch....Hairy Woodpecker was about, but flew all the way across Two Top Pine Meadow to the Scorched Forest....a pleasant walk, and sit, and...quietquiet....picked up, and as I neared the Path, Woodpecker came back, chattering, and went to work on a Cottonwood Hollow...digi pics and clips...only pics today , save for the scenic!...sunny blueblue and warm...the Snow is like a white crunchy pavement and walkable...oh!...there were clouds in the sky like 'confectioners sugar'....dont know but I was compelled to think that out!...the evening light is back...this to say the days are staying light long enough that I can go out from work for the Lunch Sit and Walkabout...didn't sit much, Log was wet, but walked over to the Cattails to see the fallen Black Oaks...the Oaks have multiple trunks a lot of times, and are more branch like than trunk like, and a good many have fallen....walk was quiet, though I maybe heard one call maybe...hard to tell over traffic noises...oh!..in morning, at Lower Falls, heard Pileated Woodpecker call loudly, then Pileated flew into the Delta talking..... only a glimpse of the flight... no pics...
