Shuttled over to the Village for mail, hopped off at Lower Falls on way back, and paddled out Lodgepole Point...Monarch on Thistle...pics...been wanting to get Monarch pic with Wings open!....this Summer, I've seen a lot of Buckeyes, and not so many California Sisters and Turtle Backs....on hike to Mono Pass, I saw a Lustrous Copper, but no pic...sat while by the Great Turf at the Creek...Young Mallard about, and may have glimpsed Hawk...crossed the Creek, and made the Inside Loop, quiet, and back to the Cabin for nap...have a change of weather cold....sunny hot blue....naps lasted all the way to dusk!...but made a counterclockwise Inside Loop...Phoebes, Robins, Blue Jay, at Last Light....
Books:
Bright Wings: An Illustrated Anthology of Poems About Birds
Dont know but Sibley's captions to his paintings are better than the poems! And I got the Russell book for the early drawing of starving cow in winter surrounded by wolves--it has stuck in my memory since I first saw it..brb...tried to enlarge text...color painting of cow isn't the original drawing, which has a simplistic charm....Russell understood the Vanishing West...Sibley, Birds...
