Paddled over to the Village....Does and Fawns and Bucks at the Oak Grove...Deer still there when I returned....picked up the digiscope at the Cabin...wanted to try the new bracket....returned again, Deer still about, and the bracket works!....pics and clips of Deer....another photog wanted a chance, so picked up and went over to Chapel Bridge...thought Blue Heron might be about the Merced....lookedlooked for awhile, and no luck, but just as I started to leave the Bridge, sighted Great Blue Heron in the Log Jam under the Alders and Cottonwoods...I think I have a pic from three years ago of Heron in this very same spot!..(here too)..pics and clips...Heron flew up and downriver....on the Path, sighted Coyote at Flicker Grove....tried to get ahead, and set up on the Boardwalk at the Lilypad Pond...waitedwaited, started to pick up, and sighted Coyote at the Pond....tried to take a clip, and have a long clip of Coyote hunting in the Hummocks, but blurry from Raindrops on the lenses...for sometime...Coyote went under the Boardwalk, along the River, crossed the Path again, and out past the Woodpecker Tree...light rain, cool, steady rain late tonight, and still only cool....at the Big Hardware Store, my sister spotted a plumbing pipe coupling rubber gasket that is working out as a shim, making the bracket fit to the spotting scope eye piece.....sister and I have a lot in common, but this is a little disconcerting!...when I arrived in Bakersfield, she was jury rigging an old music stand or something to make something to hold her camera low to a table when taking pics of her mineral collection...maybe it's just a photog thing, coming up with innovations!...oh....heard Hawk, Redshoulder, while at the Oak Grove, and sighted Hawk, Redtail?, flyover toward Fern Ledge...flock of Juncos by Creek Footbridge....and a flock of Bluejays at the Oak Grove Road Intersection...Birds were out and about in the Rain...too!
