Deerhouse Hawk


















Paddled out to Bobcat Meadow...turned up the Use Path along the Merced at Chapel Bridge, and when I neared the Apple Tree, saw Hawk, Cedar, perched in the other Apple Tree by the Woodpecker Tree...second time for this perch!....pics, and set up the mini digi...clips....almost flight pics, but all blurry...Cedar picked up when tourists came along the Path, and flew to the Cottonwoods near where I was....tried for another clip, but too slow, and Cedar flew downstream just a bit to a perch in an Alder...better luck this time...and a second set of pics and clips....Cedar flew to the ground, and may have caught some critter, and flew across the Merced....started to cross Chapel Bridge to follow...but time...and returned to the Cabin...at Lower Falls on the way, met friend who was headed to the Bridge, and I gave them a heads up about Cedar...and they later reported Cedar flying back to the Apple Trees area....drizzly grey sky....some new snow on the rims....warm...Moon tonight glowing in thin fogclouds....at lunch, walked back to Creek's End...one Doe at Lodgpole Point....missed pic...
