Apr 13: Remoaned the fact that I didn't have
(cont) a spotting scope or a telephoto lens with
me, and continued observing. He looked
back towards me about 10 secs after
I got out of the truck. He continued
up the hill, staying on the path,
all the way, nose to the ground.
0633 PST: He crossed under the fence
between the 2nd + 3rd power pole (near a
smaller telephone-line pole) onto the "Noyce"
ranch. I got a good clear look as he
crossed open over-grazed hillside
towards the Buckeye Woods: "long tail,
dark tip, he's not very big, I wonder
if he is a cub or yearling, walking
across open ground on Noyce property,
see him clearly, shoulders a little
lower than stump, going into trees,
out of sight".
0652 PST: Went through the Buckeye
Woods or Haystack with a spotting scope
and camera but didn't get another
sighting.
In retrospect, I should mention
that at around 0620 PST I saw 2 pair
of deer in the long field (near H.100). They
did not pay much attention to me. All
of them spent a lot of time looking
