Whilst staying in California, Jayne and I got a 3-day pass to visit Yosemite National Park.
The first day was spent in and around the Yosemite Valley area. Whilst there, we took a 2-hour guided tour, to take in the main sites, including El Capitan, Half Done, Yosemite Falls and Tunnel View.
Half Dome and Cook Meadow
Bird species seen included: Raven, American Robin,
Red-winged Blackbird, Brewer’s Blackbird, Steller’s Jay, Acorn
Woodpecker, Turkey Vulture, Black Phoebe, Common Merganser
(adult and juveniles), and my best ever views of Hairy Woodpecker. In
addition, we had very brief views of a Swift sp, flying around Yosemite Falls,
that was most likely Black Swift.

One evening, at around 7pm, we saw an American Black Bear
feeding in Cook Meadow.
