BuzzBirds

http://youtu.be/tdhJ7WriZN8 Pic and clip from on the way to Westport from Ft. Bragg, in the Morning, 3/25. It was first clip of the Day, and I didn't give the scene the attention I should have!... I thought I saw Hawks too, and kinda scurried past the BuzzBirds panning the camera...herabout: after up all Night playing wow--it's easy to do, and one wonders where the Night goes--peeked out the Window at 6am thinking it would be Dark, but very light...geared up and paddle out to Two Top Pine Meadow...Puff Clouds in the Morning pics...Meadow has flooded some, and Slough too, enough I couldn't pass the Broken Cottonwood with dry Feet... Mallards calling and about, lots and lots!!...and Birds too!...

California Sea Otters

http://youtu.be/CTEWLLhuv2Y

Pic and clip from Point Lobos...I just finished the desultory tax task, and noted the donation check boxes on the California Tax Form...there's one for Sea Otters...looked about on the web for site, to donate, but apparently donations only go through the tax form...so, re-did the tax form last page!...dont mind taxes my own self, and the notion of state owned charities of sorts is a curio...they're not a deduction, I gather...and not charities, but rather state run pursuits that have lost, or need, someway or another, funding that the legislators cant pony up...hmmph...the federal tax form has one such box--presidential campaign...hmmph...hereabout: didn't get out and about, except to Post Office on errands, last two days...sunny hazy warm hot...some water now in the Hummocks, and Dogwoods look slow to blossom...I had to use the desktop to print out forms, and noted the blog's clips at youTube are hanging on the desktop...vista too slow, or desktop, or something...when I took web page making class at junior college, we learned to run our pages on different computers to see if they worked in different browsers and such..back then a lot of glitches...and much slower computers...pic and text seem to work fine, but clips are iffy...the blog itself is a kinda charity from google, insomuch we can post up and browse for free...a good thing when folk who can give, do..

Here's link to pics from the Merced Canyon...knockdown Bald Eagle pic!...at another blog...

Ravens' Recycle

Well, what's a Backyard without a few old Paint Buckets and Chairs?....one thought is to do a sometime photo study of Backyard Dishevelments!...pics up from the Backyard hereabout about a week ago...have a clip too, shaky handheld, but I'll add it sometime...hereabout today: snowrain, and for a little while big snow flakes, cool...hours at work lengthened, tourist lines too...coming to the Valley on vacation has a lot of logistical ins and outs, and those who seem to figure them out, keep coming back...I often have conversation with tourists about their visit last year...'we were snowed in!...had to caravan out!'...if these Spring Storms keep coming, the High Country Snowpack might approach a kinda normal...Merced a little higher today....Robins about piping in the Cottonwoods at Ozone Beach at Lunch...I take along a plastic trash bag to sit on the Snow on the Log...have some pics and clip of Snow today...for sometime...
