Hawk

Well, there's a clip that goes with the pics, Hawk preening, and it's a far away crop...for sometime!(upload too slow)...after Breakfast, snoozed until late afternoon (was up 'till four am playing wow--Halloween quests)...and it's late now--fell asleep during world series!...hmmph...anyway, made the Outside Loop counterclockwise, and starting out into Coop's Meadow (with memories of Coop on just such a Fall Day!), sighted White Chest Feathers of Hawk, Redtail...pics up...took the far away clip, and watched a long while, and then thought to move closer...but Hawk flew up, and I'd set the camera for such event, and was able to get far away flight pic...Hawk resettled near the Merced, and I thought to continue, but Hawk flew across to the River to Two Top Pine Meadow, and, oh!, I had to follow, Tree to Tree--Hawk may have gone to Two Top Pine...reached the Meadow, and Hawk flew up from the Lone Cottonwood near Two Top, and over to the Burnt Forest...left off, and continued the Loop...Maple is in color, but all in shade when I reached the Chapel...continued around to Lower Falls, and made the Inside Loop clockwise...quiet...Two Male Mallards by the Fallen Cedar...earlier, Female Mallard at Swinging Bridge...Robin, Bluebirds, Raven, Flicker, Acorn Woodpecker, along the way...sunny blue hazy, cool in morning, warm...week old report of Pileated in Siberia, and Hawk by the A Rooms...very cool to see Hawk in the Magnificent Fall Light!!
