Deer Crossing

After Breakfast, paddled back to the Creek...took all the gear...sat awhile at Duck Harbor, and nearby in the Fallen Oak Jumble that is Duck Harbor now, heard a Fledgling peeping....wore the flipflops, had a notion I'd need them, and all the gear!, and waded about looking, listening, and downstream, sighted Merganserlings 6 approaching....waded over to the Shingle, 20x on the Tripod with Legs splayed, and began a series of clips that took me all the way up past the Creek Bridge....all together, it's between five and ten minutes of clips, all in hd...will take some time to edit....clips together really show off the Creek with the Mergansers, and immediately a new favorite....nearly fell into the Creek wading after Mergansers....and forgot the Pack with the Scope back at the Riprap....retrieved it okay...whew!...sunny hot blue...at Lunch: sat awhile by the Fallen Cedar, trying for Phoebe pics, and up by Cottonwood Bend, sighted Bucks, and maybe one Doe, crossing the Merced...pics...waited for Phoebe to come back to the Cedar, and Mallard surfaced right amongst the Branches, and then Mallard paddled over to me, expecting a snack--tourists spoil all the Critters...and Mallard climbed up the Shore beside me and nibbled Grass Seeds...clip...which I like too!...
