Doves

Slept in again, almost all the way to worktime...watched BB Playoffs a bit on tv....cloudy sprinkles warm, tourist described as 'dreary'...but it isn't the cloudy weather, that deters, it's the crowdy valley!...anyway, at Lunch: sat awhile at Ozone Boulder...Robin, Blue Jay, Song Sparrow, Redwing, unknown call, and Mallards flying along the Merced...one time Three Mallards going Down River, then Two Mallards returned and flew all about, and finally Up River...yesterday at Lunch, Three Deer at Cottonwood Bend, and Four Deer across the River in Chapel Meadow, all Does and Fawns...deep as the River is at present, Deer dont seem deterred from crossing!...Morning Doves pic up from Carrizo Plain....
