Out and about after noon!....bowl of cereal and coffee, then caught the Shuttle and made the Shuttle Loop...thought to see what Trees came down...and thought to hop off at the Stables for pics, but steady Rain wet Snow looked uninviting....hopped off at the Village...checked mail...back on the Shuttle, and hopped off at Lower Falls...Mama Doe and One Fawn, Antlered Buck and Four Point Buck, at the Oak Grove..pics and clips...was geared up for Rain, so continued out to Chapel Bridge and made the Outside Loop ....Rain stopped a bit at Swinging Bridge, and I was part way across the Bridge when I heard Pileated Woodpecker talking back across the Road...took a bit of lookinglistening, but Pileated talked and flew to a High Snag....pics and clips...Pileated flew off with loud call deeper into the Woods....Rain began again, and I finished up the Walk with daylight left...just too Rainy!!...after a Snack at Last Chance...tomato soup and rolls...Shuttled one more time back and forth to the Village for laundry soap....Doe at Visitor Shuttle Stop....didn't have camera with!..but friend took pic...overcast rain cloudsfog moving through cool....heard Blue Jay, and Kinglets...and saw Ravens two by two perched in the leafless Cottonwoods...Urban Hawks posted up a report of Pale Male, and a web search 'Pale Male' will bring up the tale of a Red Tail Hawk in New York's Central Park, and here's one link:
