Cooper's Hawk






After Breakfast, Shuttled over to the Village...and then...with time, Shuttled out to Happy Isles...visited the Fen, then over to the Pony Path...just passed the Bridge and along the River, I was watching a bunch of Small Lizards, thinking to take pic, and heard a commotion over the River--Kingfisher and Cooper's Hawk having a dustup!....faraway pic of Cooper...even further pic of Kingfisher....Kingfisher flew upriver, Cooper down...a moment undecided, and lost both...hmmph...continued along the Path...Channel nearest the Path is dry...crossed the Channel and River Stone hopped about....quiet...and a kinda Wild Terrain...caught the Shuttle at the Stables, and back to the Village...picked up Laundry Soap, and a Cooler for snacks on weekend rollabouts...paddled back through Bobcat Meadow, and across the Creek at Creek's End...quiet...time, and to the Cabin and work...a long morning!...cloudy and sultry to hot, and back to warm sprinkles all afternoon, sky all overcast...at Lunch: sat awhile at the Fallen Cedar in the sprinkles...Little Grey Bird perched, but flew off before I could get camera out...Ouzel, Song Sparrow, Acorns at the Path, about....check tomorrow morning the Paths...if still wet, the Little Birds will be about foraging....very cool to see Cooper two days in a row!.....oh!....Mallard was sleeping at Creek's End....pic...

Dont know but with the weather in Tuolumne, snow flurries now and then, I might go to Town instead, and find a hobby shop....


oh!...friend at work saw Lightning strike Sentinel...very jealous...
