Oak Flicker






















Paddled over to the Post Office...lookedabout awhile in Bobcat Meadow...quiet...on the Path at the Post Office, glimpsed Grey Wings on the other side of an Oak Trunk...peeked around, and there was Northern Flicker busy at a small Oak Hollow...pics and clips.. really like the pics!...paddled back the way I came, but quiet in the Meadow...maybe saw Song Sparrow at the Boardwalk Azaleas...blurry pic...sunny blueblue with some hazy clouds...and warmwarm....thought I saw Hawk across the Road outside the Big Windows at Break...hurried out and lookedabout...no luck...and paddled about Owl Woods at Lunch...quiet too...no Hawks today...just Ravens seen soaring in the Magnificent Blue Sky...report of Blue Heron at Clark's Bridge...heard Brown Creeper at the Creek Footbridge...almost got pic of Little Bird before the Flicker pics....I was trying to see the Little Birds when I sighted Flicker...Kinglets, I think...

Christine, or Edie, mentioned that Michael Frye has a colletion of wildlife pics from his early beginnings of photo taking in the Valley...this Post Up has Coyotes...I saw myself more Coyotes in 2003 than now, and each year it seems like fewer...I can't even imagine seeing them often enough now for names!... Coyote was calling behind the Cabin about three days ago...forgot report!...likely Coyote population fluxuates with the Little Critters', like Squirrels...Snow is melting away fast everywhere, so tracking any Critter is becoming problematic! There are a lot of Grey Squirrels about the Rooms...

Link to Bloggers Blog on problems...I cant see other blog videos either, and I suspect it has to do with the new editing tools...I think they are working on it...'video' is in the 'outstanding' tray!

fantastic!! one year in housekeeping (rhonda & i would stay for about 3 weeks) we got to see a nest being built from the very beginning. so interesting and a work of art. to see mom & pop check each item before making the cut or being rejected. she laid 3 eggs and we came back to see if they had hatched & they had. the rules were to remove all items like nests but we begged and pleaded and asked the staff to watch over it and they did. the next residents of rhonda's unit were bird lovers as well so it all worked out.
