Traveling to find the wintering Whooping Cranes at Goose Island, I stopped at a few other sites. I posted a partial photo album in my previous post - - And this is the continuation of my hunt for the wintering birds....

The 'hidden rocks' campaign is to promote random acts of kindness - "The ART of CONNECTION" This is the 2nd one I've found while out on my birding treks. Kinda fun, and I'm seriously thinking of joining in on this fun way of spreading kindness to those that would appreciate a smile and good thought toward them!!!
Along the shore of Copano Bay on the park road, I spied a few -five- of my targeted bird!! [more photos will be shared next Saturday on my bird blog]. Behind the cranes and the road sign is the bay...not visible 'cause of the fog!!!
What a neat movement that one is, Anni. I think it's a great idea and if you do it, I'm hoping you'll tell me all about it. :-)
ReplyDeleteIt may be fun to try it with a few.
DeleteHello, great photo of the Cranes and the pretty egret. I found some of the hidden painted rocks in Florida, some are beautifully done. The painted rocks I found I left behind for others to find. Enjoy your day and weekend!
ReplyDeleteOh...ya, I leave them for others also.
Deletei love all the misty shots, even the bull is gorgeous... i saw a rock at the YMCA last week, someone had wedged it on a place by the front door, on a ledge.
ReplyDeleteThey are doing what they're intended to do...at least they bring a smile to my face!
DeleteLove the foggy shots, it has really been soupy here lately. That is a huge bull, and he looks so calm and quiet. Nice shots, and I hope your next adventure nets you a sunny day, and more shots of the cranes. I hear we are expecting several more inches of rain...yuck.
ReplyDeleteThis winter has been very unusual to say the least!
DeleteThat's a nice boardwalk. I have been painting rocks for years and give them away as paper weights. Now I'll hide some. Great idea!
ReplyDeleteHigh five! I bet your art work on the rocks is super!
DeleteLovely photos! Yes, the painted rocks phenomenon has really swept the country! Mom has enjoyed participating some.
ReplyDeleteIf I can come up with any ideas I just may try it too.
DeleteThe foggy Crane picture is so soft and beautiful. I want to walk on the beautiful curved wooden walkway lined with greenery. The Snowy Egret is is fancy! I have never seen one.
ReplyDeleteGlad you enjoyed it all Ginny!
DeleteWe have that same rock movement in my small town. I have found a couple and participated in it. Kindness is always appreciated and we need more of it.
ReplyDeleteRight now I was inspired. Will continue to work on it this weekend
DeleteAwesome pictures. I love the looks of that boardwalk
ReplyDeleteThe lake grounds & gazebo were damaged a bit, but the boardwalk held up!
DeleteSeeing a Whooping Crane would be so special.
ReplyDeleteThey ARE North America's treasure
DeleteThat is a huge bull! The whooping cranes are pretty.
ReplyDeleteAgree...on both accounts.
DeletePainted rocks are the rage. I even did a few and had my oldest son take a couple to Cario. Although not sure what happen to them.
ReplyDeleteWe'll see how it goes with me. I have one finished.
DeleteHi Anni
ReplyDeleteAs always your photos delight us. OMCs that is huge bull. At first I thought it was a buffalo. LOL
Hugs Cecilia
It IS HUGE!
DeleteWhat beautiful photos! And the reflection on the lake is just awe inspiring! Thank you! Have a wonderful week!
ReplyDeleteThank YOU! Cathy.
DeleteBiggest bull I have seen in quite some time!! Wouldn't want to tangle with him!! Great shots,
ReplyDeleteMe either! To top it off, he had a virtual harem of lady friends...that makes a bull quite territorial. 😊
DeleteWonderful photos!!!! I love a bird hunt!
ReplyDeleteMe too...I'm what you call an obsessed birder I guess.
DeleteThe painted rock movement is such a great idea. I am going to join in. Is there a website that explains what to do Anni?
ReplyDeleteMy next post will kinda explain it for you.
