Ponderosa And Nuthatch

Shuttled over to the Village after Breakfast...checked mail...and one quick last look at the Museum Show before it changes...and Shuttled Back...geared up, and paddled back to the Dogwoods..oh..checked Dogwoods before too, and then I sighted Two Nuthatches...pics of only One...stood a long while, and waitedwaited...Robins about, but hidden...Robins have a routine...eat berries, fly off into the Cedars and Ponderosas, return, and eat more berries...seeds look like berries...anyway...no pics...did see Flickers, and heard far away call of Pileated...returned to the Cabin and fiddled with the computer and printer, and some online errands....hazy cloudy mostly sunny..warm....late now, and still no rain, but rain predicted....at Lunch: paddled back to the Diversion Channel...found a seat on a Grassy Hummock, and waitedwaited...and heard hoo hoos somewhere over by the Cattails...saw one Owl fly low to over by the Cottonwood...and called--Sentinel.....followed, and when near, Ponderosa flew to a Ponderosa opposite, perched, and began calling--Sentinel answering...took a couple blurry pics of Ponderosa, and shaky clip...missed tripod!...found a Hummock to sit on, but not much steadier for the clips, but upped the iso espocsure setting to 6400, and set shutter to 80, and got a pic, fuzzy of course....just too dark...time, and while trying to figure out how to return, Owls were over the shortest route, heard Sentinel's call way over by the Merced...Ponderosa called once more, then flew off opposite towards the Creek....I had a long clear view of the flight... very cool!...
