... if you know where to look.
I was up at Vigilante, sitting in the dirt, playing in the water with Os,
when a woman with binoculars walked up and asked, did I see "that" bird?
And I'm like, what bird. I don't hear any bird.
Then I heard a very small chirp. I looked around. She was scanning the tree tops with her binoculars. I replied, "I hear it, but I don't see anything."
She stayed for a bit longer, searching the trees then she gave up and walked away.
I shot a couple of creek videos, shut off the camera, crossed a small runoff, and stood in the brush by the creek where I heard a very small chirp. There he was. Not in the trees. In the water.
So, I guess the lesson is -- things aren't always where you expect them to be, or you can find what you're looking for if you look in the right place.
