Flickers

Flickers were over in Sleepy Owl Woods...they were making those little peeps....which I hadn't heard before....was pursuing them and heard another new sound...sorta like a Hawk...but couldn't find that bird...and it was close too!...on the return through Cook's, Rangers were looking through a scope from Sentinel Parking for lost hiker up on the Falls trail...tried to look too with the miniscope...but seemed a hopeless task...hope they have better luck....report of little Bear right behind the Cabin yesterday morning...new owner of video phone forgot they had it, so no clip...kinda cloudy this morning, but it cleared up...sunny cool and clouds to blue....a new way to survey a terrain, what I do for Hawks and Owls, is to take a pic with a long lens, then crop zoom in on the pic with 'digital zoom'....didn't think to try that with the new camera, but it would work...how I found Hawk-in-the-Oaks cropped pic...I moved side to side all the way from top of the whole pic to its bottom...and finally found Hawk at the bottom edge.....sometime I can only sorta see where Hawk has perched...and just take a pic on the half chance, as was the case with that one....on the lcd screen I'll zoom in and go through all the branches....camoflauge is a tough color!
