Band-tailed Pidgeon

Walked over to the Post Office...at Owl's Oaks...the Oak Grove across the road from the Elm and Cook's...lots of Jays and Woodpeckers...and back...Robins!...and back too...I think...the Band-tailed Pidgeons!....I think I have Pidgeon pic from last Spring with the 3x...have to check...tough to get pics of the Pidgeons...they're a little shy...and tourists were back and forth on the path...walked back with a detour through Cook's...sat at Sentinel stop awhile...tired!...and a friend drove by and we went to Last Chance for late lunch..cloudy and raindrops made me pick up


before going out in the evening...doesn't seem cold enough for snow...but rain is on the way.
Dirty Jobs is on..the bridge episode when he walks up the Suspension Bridge Cables...they do this with two caribiners attached to tethers from a harness...each time they come to a stantion they clip on a carbiner...and unclip the one from the previous section....this climb is very like the climb up Half Dome...and while a safety system like that would work...I doubt if it would be ever be used!...Half Dome is pretty much the way it has been and always will be...the clamber up it on the cables...but I thought to mention this...


wonder when the Robins will begin singing in the morning...
