The morning was nice so we hit the trail to the Rocky Point fishing hole we were wanting to try out. The trail was easy even carrying the seven foot rod through the high brush. As we approached the point the terrain got a bit difficult due to all the loose rocks of lots of sizes. Sure enough the OFM sprained and ankle a bit. So we calmed down some and were more careful getting to the water.
Using our tried and true bottom bumping lure we probed the area and found it to NOT be as we hoped. This was not a “cliff” as hoped but a long shallow slope towards another sand flat. Yep it was a bit deeper and did still cause the darker water but the relief was too shallow of a slope to be good underwater structure. We did not get any bites at all. However it could still be a good place to bait fish the bottom for big catfish known to live in the area.
As we carefully started back out we went near the waterline. In the sand were lots and lots of trails some small critter was making in their travels.
We have no idea what they are made by so if one of our wonderful readers knows, please comment.
Back at Sierra we were starting to move along the area in the picnic area when this crazy bird started posing for us,
It seemed to think we would be likely to toss it some food if it posed several different ways. That reminds the OFM of an event a few days ago when some birders we not happy since they had heard there were lots of roadrunners in this park and they were on their second day without finding one to photograph. When the OFM told them where to find the roadrunners the folks seemed offended and went on there way without saying anything else. All the OFM said is "you are looking in the wrong area out here in the brush. Look around the picnic tables over there. Roadrunners are great scavengers of table scraps.”
And zoom we were all alone again.
You never know what is going to happen while out trying to have tooooo much fun.
Looks like some kind of worm to me too....but otherwise, I'm clueless. Glad you didn't do anything too bad to your ankle, at least I hope the same is true tomorrow. And then, no bites when fishing. Well as long as the ants didn't bite either. Cold front will be here in a few hours. Going from 76 today to the high of 34 tomorrow. Maybe it might even get a bit cooler down in Roma.
ReplyDeletefri hi 81 then lo 39 predicted Ankle sprain was a warning to be more careful. It is doing fine tonight.
DeleteWonderful photo of a roadrunner! I haven't seen many, and when I did it was running so fast i wouldnt have gotten a picture.
ReplyDeleteSo, they pose if you check out picnic tables? Nice to know.
The only time I was able to get a good photo of a Roadrunner was along the fence line at Pancho Villa State Park in New Mexico, a great museum there too.
