After Breakfast, paddled over to the Village...scenic pics along the way...looked for Tracks...Squirrel, Deer, Raven...Juncos about...looked for Bird making clear one tone call by Lower Falls that I wasn't sure of, but no luck...Blue Jays, Robins...returning on the Shuttle, heard report of Coyote in Chapel Meadow, old report from earlier in morning, but hopped off Shuttle anyway at Lower Falls and paddled over Chapel Bridge to looksee...found Tracks, which took me along the Outside Loop...continued around, thinking maybe Coyote in Two Top Pine Meadow...quiet there too...sighted Varied Thrush at Ozone Beach...tried for pics...30x camera is slower to use...oh...Acorn Woodpecker on Owl's Burnt Snag, on Chapel Side of Merced opposite Creek's End...30x in video mode, auto focuses okay zoomed out...but I haven't got the knack of taking just zoomed out in focus pics yet, and was having trouble in all the modes with exposure... was only able to get Snowy Day pics in manual...a puzzle...had all the gear with, even the small tripod, but walk very quiet, and Snowfall light, like two inches...sunny with breaking storm clouds, cool...at Ozone Beach, heard another unrecognized call, a kinda wheezy one tone...Flicker at Ozone (making laughing call), Ouzels by Swinging Bridge, Juncos again on the Path by the Cabin...talked with friend that lives in El Portal...lots of Birds thereabout....
