After Breakfast, Shuttled over to the Village.... Mama Doe and Two Fawns about that I haven't seen before...pics for sometime...watercolor and gauche painting of the Falls, found on ebay, came...unsigned, but it looks familiar, and a project to compare and maybe find the artist...Shuttled back to Cabin...dropped off the painting, and walkedabout in the Backyard...diverted by tourists at Creek's End, and ended up by the Fallen Cedar...Phoebe perched...Blue Jay in the Willow...quiet...sunny blueblue hot.....at Lunch:...well, everything went according to plan!...hurried to the Cabin, picked up gear including tripod...heard Owl, Sentinel, when I reached Creek's End...but Owl up the Diversion Channel somewhere...followed Owl's call, getting closer, and stood a long while under an Oak listening for the next call...and thought, 'Owl is right above me, huh?"....looked up, and there was Sentinel!....see pic and clips....Sentinel started the calling, then Ponderosa began answering....Sentinel flew to another Perch, then back to the Oak, but on the Oak's far side...picked up and went to look for Ponderosa, call somewhere by the Cottonwood...couldn't locate, and nearly time...but walking up the Channel Bank, I looked back, and Sentinel was on the Cottonwood...Ponderosa must have been just on the far side of the Cottonwood ...calls were almost simultaneous...but hardly any light, and last section of posted up clip is very dark...but the sounds are very cool!....Acorn Woodpeckers woken up again!!!
