Give Me One Reason to Stay Here

So this morning while observing a group called East Weather Station (EWS) I started singing Tracy Champan’s “Give Me One Reason to Stay Here”. For those of you who are not familiar, it’s a pretty quality song, “give me one reason to stay here and I’ll turn right back around...” were the two lines I was focusing on while staring at the birds through my binoculars. They were just sitting there, doing nothing. So I decided to go traversing over the hill (which is risky for I may never encounter the group again if I leave some of them) while singing “give me one reason to stay here and I’ll turn right back around”. They didn’t give me a reason and I didn’t turn back around but I eventually found myself in the same spot 30 minutes later. Silly Ani’s.

The refuge- thigh high grasses we trek through to find the birds, thankfully there are no snakes

I never got over the clouds here, I took a LOT of cloud pics

Gotcha

An aloof Ani that I watched hop up and down to forage for a couple hours
