Oak Owl

On the way to Breakfast, talked with friend about the Valley residents and employees art show, and with their encouragement, after Breakfast, hopped in Silver and took two of my Kodak framed pics, Bobcat with Ground Squirrel, and one of Owl in Owl Woods, over to the Art Activity Center....little show is put on by the Yosemite Conservancy (the old Fund and Association combined), with a lot of effort by another friend's wife, a YC volunteer...it's informal, which I like, and hope it will be a good presentation this November at the Center....back at the Cabin, still some time, and crossed the Creek and sat on a Deer House Picnic Bench awhile...quietquiet....sighted Mama Doe and Two Fawns, both Fawns nursing, at the Library earlier, and sighted One Fawn alone by the Deer House...overcast, a few thunder claps, and rain showers...at Lunch: was anxious to get out to the Woods....during and after Rain, the Mists and Clouds and Fall Colors make it a magical place. and Owls the Starst.....picked up the gear at the Cabin....bit of time lost, but I wanted the tripod along...and heard and located Sentinel and Ponderosa....but Owls hidden in Cottonwood Branches....Owls flew off two directions...was able to follow Owl to the right....and sighted Owl perched on Oak Branch...one sorta clear pic, the one up...and tried for clip, but too dark...Owl flew out to Ozone Beach about, and I was hopeful Owl would perch in the Cottonwoods I'm familiar with, but no luck...time...and back to work...report of Hawk, Redshoulder, Coop, by Lower Falls across the Road--likely in Flicker Grove...and Coyote in Siberia...and report of not much to report from friend returning from one week vacation on the East Side...'hot'...'yes, I know, I stayed hereabout'....Screech Owl in headlights, and Tarantula, and Leaves not turning until last day...tomorrow, for me, a two day rollabout in Silver...hope to report of much to report!!!...well...rollabout will be nearby, too rainy for long trip!
