Hawk And Coyote

Late Breakfast...just a croissant and coffee...and just enough to time for one go round of Bobcat Meadow...oh...heard the Path Hummingbird on the way to Breakfast....anyway...at Flicker Grove, sighted Hawk, Redtail, soar over to an Oak and Perch and Preen...difficult pics...same lighting as Monday!...looked down to try and set a better exposure...and Hawk flew off somewhere...one has an empty feeling in ones stomach when a critter is there one moment, and then gone!...imagine it meant nothing for dinner a long time ago!...paddled around the Meadow, but no luck...Juncos, Robins, Flickers, Blackbirds, Redwings, Mallards, Ravens....when I crossed the Road at Lower Falls on return, sighted Coyote crossing the Road about in front of the Cabin....pics...pic of tourists taking Coyote pic, wish I could post: husband has tiny point and shoot on monopod, a tall one, as camera is right at eye level..wife beside has map open, and has just looked up...and Coyote is in front walking to a space between the parked cars...oh..one has to see it...a smile and laugh!....cloudy grey warm....at Lunch, soon as I rounded the Rooms, heard what I think is Pygmy Owl call...one mellow tone slowly spaced....went out into the Woods, with the call right ahead..and Owl must have seen me, and was quiet...closest I've gotten to this call!...continued out to the Merced, and back along the Shore...Does and One Fawn on the other side of the River....top pics are...in order...all from Monday...Mallards...mystery bird...think it's Buzz Bird...Path Hummingbird...and the Yellow Bird which most closely looks like a Goldfinch in Laws (really like his paintings, he includes really subtle features of the Birds)...oh!!....Wolfie showed up yesterday at Last Chance, right in Season..."Did you see..."...her first words....and I interrupted..."Yes, I saw the Ring Tail Cat!!"...but no pics, I admitted...report of mild winter in Klamath Falls...Lakes low...
