Fallen Cedar Birds


















I looked up while eating Breakfast (cheerios), and was surprised to see Raven flying about, inside Last Chance!....Raven snuck in through an open Door, and became trapped, and panicked, flying about and crashing into the Big Windows....I tried to help, positioning myself like a post in a pinball machine, along with a friend...and tried to get a clip at the same time, holding up high the waterproof, and unfortunately didn't press the video record button...fortunately, after one window collision, Raven fell to the floor just opposite the open door, and Raven hopped out--all okay....a tourist nearby did get a clip, and I requested a copy, and so will maybe have clip to add here sometime....afterwards, paddled out to the Creek, and out to the Fallen Log in front of the Deer House to sky gaze awhile out over Bobcat Meadow...had some drawing pens with, and sketched a bit, and reminded myself of how difficult it is to do in short time...time, and very quiet, and back to the Cabin....sunny hot blue with puff clouds....at Lunch: sat awhile at the Fallen Cedar, and it was disneyesque!...Two Mallards paddling about, Black Birds, Song Sparrows, and a new Flycatcher, the Pale Yellow Bird pic up, and a new Yellow Bird, pic up, and, I think, a Juvenile Robin....while taking these pics, Two Young Mergansers paddled by, snorkeling....when I took the Phoebe flight pic, I thought I was taking a pic of the Pale Bird, but they exchanged places!....on the way back, pic of DownyOrHairy Woodpecker....the Cedar a real contrast to the noontime Quiet Creek!...sadly, the Little Pale Bird looks to have a broken Upper Bill...oh!...Bear ambling behind the Cabin in the dark after work...gave heads up to tourists with flashlight walking by...'Oh, a Bear!!'...disneyesque.....

lots of nice bird photos! birds used to get in all the time to the workroom at our office. it took me ages to convince them to turn of the lights AND open the doors so it would fly out. finally they tried it and it worked.
