Path Bandtail Pigeon























After Breakfast, paddled over to Ozone Beach, and sat down to get low enough to take pics of the Swallowtails on the Flat...Merced still high...Buoys out for the rafters....Mosquitoes shortened the photo taking, and back to the Cabin for a nap with little time...on the way, went to Azalea Bluff...neighbors paddling Canoe in the Creek....kinda envied them that!...pic...sunny hazy cloudy humid....at Lunch: made a quickstep walk to Ozone...Phoebe on Phoebe's Willow...Robins, Acorn, Grosbeak about...continued along the River, and sighted the Merganserlings furiously fishing...very cool..and Merganserlings have grown!....couldn't sight all together, but looked like Six...while taking pics by the Ponderosa, With The View Of Half Dome, Roots, I was being eaten by Mosquitoes....continued to Two Top Pine Meadow...quiet...and Mosqutoes...and time...back along the Path, sighted Bandtail Pigeon perched beside the Path...in the open and low!...opposite of where Bandtail usually is!...pics...I'd thought to stay inside, both morning and evening, but glad to have gone out and about...Providence smiled!
