Chipmonk

Chipmonk was on the Sidewalk near the cars and busses, and I wonder if Chipmonk hitched a ride down from Glacier Point, where Chipmonks are often seen...I haven't seen Chipmonk near the Cabin since first year hereabout...maybe somewhere I have a pic or two from a Valley walkabout, but I dont recall...some miscellaneous reports: Some kinda cleanup happened awhile back back at Creek by the Tiki Temples...all the stored stuff, pipes and equipment and such, are all gone!... There are indeed more knawings at Beaver Bend...I have this conjecture that Beaver swims into the Valley once every Spring at High Water About, and nearly chews through a few Cottonwoods just to say, 'this is Beaver turf!'....as a self proclaimed representative of Critters hereabout, I sometimes feel that's what the blog is about!...hmmph...knawing indeed.... Friend reported being woke up by their dog barking, and just outside kitchten door (this in Midpines)Turkeys, and Turkeylings...which brought to mind Young Birds and Nests I've seen my ownself so far...I didn't find Ouzel Nest, but one Day walking out to Lower Falls passed the parked cars, I heard, 'are you a birder?'...binocs do that...tripod does 'are you aa'...anyway, two tourists from Tenesse reported Mama Ouzel feeding fledgling by the Creek Bridge...went to looksee, hoping to maybe find Nest, but no luck...butbut, one Morning after Breakfast, sitting at the RipRap by the Creek, Ouzel flew to a Fallen Fir, perched, and didn't bob!...watched awhile and thought this curious, and then Mama Ouzel flew to the Log and fed Ouzel Fledgling, flapping Wings as Fledgling do, and bobbing...while thereabout too, one lone Mallardling paddled by up the Creek...have clips of Three Mallardlings at Swinging Bridge, and Four Mallardlings at Ozone Beach, all escorted by Mama Mallards...sighted on walkabouts trying to locate pregnant Mama Doe,,,most walks I find Doe, but haven't been out since last Tuesday...hmmph...Acorn Woopecker Nest in Snag behind Rooms near Ozone, with Fledgling...Blackheaded Grosbeak Nest being attacked by Raven, and defended by Blue Jays, right next to Last Chance Lobby, Phoebe nest being defended and attacked by Blue Jay at the Ozone Cottonwoods (with clip), Starling fledgeling by the Patio Tables, and I hear peeep peep from Nests on short walk to work...reported Redtail on Osprey Road, and Faclon fledgling calling, and I'd report web reports, as seeing them I often feel I am really seeing them, but just one...Three Fledgling Great Horned Owls in Golden Gate Park....very cool...sunny blueblue hot....oh...Backyard Bear was in Backyard approaching neighbors' BBQ...after few pics, I felt myself compelled to yell 'Go Bear!'...and Bear rambled back into the Woods...this on way to work, so couldn't pursue, which I would have liked to, as it is a bit of a mystery just how Bear gets to the Woods in Summer without drawing a crowd....only Bear I've seen this Season....web report of Bear with Two Cubs at Glacier Point....

My post ups slowed a bit last few months, just two in June!....and for a long while it was a daily routine, nightly actually, to post...I'm a critter of routines!...and of  late, I have added wow to my routines, which often takes me into the wee hours....this may seem odd, that a video game would become such a routine, but one needs to learn things to play the game, which is remarkable in itself, and while I'm not sure what I'm learning, I feel as compelled to do so as I am to learn about Fauna and Flora hereabout....

ebook technology is approching the point that one can include clips in  the ebook....right now, zook and apple have this, and the ebooks get picked up by amazon and barnes and noble, and can be seen on all the new media things, phones and pads and such, andand, can be offered for sale very cheap, like a dollar....right now, I think, the clips are mp4s....will have to wait awhile for avi or even dvd...butbut, there are past posts I want to fully post...posts here often leave out a lot that I'd like to include...soso, another project on the horizon!....well, off to ramble in the wow woods with my druid toons!!!....ROAR!!
