Out and about for an early walk...paddled back along the Dirt Roads to the Creek...quiet...and couldn't find any Deer tracks...last week I saw just two single tracks, one in Bobcat Meadow, one in..oh...I forget!...maybe in the Backyard...continued out to Two Top Pine Meadow...quiet...Flicker, Blue Jay, Raven, Ground Squirrel...the Acorn Woodpecker Snag Tree behind the Rooms, the Snag where the Acorns were courting, has fallen, likely during the Storms....returned along the Path, and nearing the Cabin, sighted Pine Siskin Flock feeding high up in a Young Alder...tried for pic, but back lit, and too far...when I'd get close, Flock would fly up, but fortunately return to the Tree...watched a long while...and got flight pics with higher shutter setting, one thousand, but way high iso, 1600, so pics noisygrainy....after Breakfast, and Shuttle back and forth to Village, thought to hop in Silver and roll down the hill, but walk took up time, and after some indecisive thought, curled up for nap!....sunny blueblue cool....just before sighting Siskins, was following Small Bear Track on the Path, but was diverted by Little Birds!....rest of day taken up with Cabin cleaning, tv, and naps!....dont know but there's a gravitational temptation to thoreauean simplify to the point of work, tv, and naps!!
