Tanager

At a pull out, on the way down the hill on the East Side, Tanager pics...Nutcrackers and Yellow Rump about too, but no pics...thought for the Day was to maybemaybe paddle about on Mono Lake...but Visitor Center was closed, so couldn't enquire just how to paddle about Mono Lake (have since learned Islands are closed for Nesting), and Lake was all white capped from Wind, so, so, the Eastern Horizon just really beckons thereabout, and I continued on to Bodie...oh...had Fish Tacos in Lee Vining...a must...pics up from Bodie...this all last Tuesday...Seagull was greeting at the Parking Lot, and detaining on the Road out!...sighted one Hawk circling near Town...hope had been to sight Hawk perched on a Roof...expressed my disappointment to the year round ranger....'haven't seen Hawk perched like that...must happen...in the Winter, saw a vanishing Mouse track in the Snow, and Wing tip marks where Hawk had swooped down'....one Building is like a Museum, with souvenirs (patch and coffee cup), and the storekeep there explained the Painting of the Lake, by Lottie...'she took up painting, thinking to make it into high society'...photo portrait of her is on opposite wall....link: Lottie Johl
