Seek and You Shall Find ...

... 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.
