Moika! This is breathtaking! I love Finland and how you can instantly recognise Finnish nature by the distinct types of trees and those beautiful, huge flat rocks on shores and sometimes in forests.
Moi! Welcome to the Forum!
I think Switzerland is one to have the most beautiful breathtaking views with all the mountains and valleys.

Yes, hiking is the best! Now my plan is to visit more National parks and other nature paths, but those would be better when there is no ice. Had to be careful with every step because of the ice.

Haha, I quess it is important to read the signs, but glad you found the bird in question. Btw, what was your bird?
In the National park there also were signs but those only were for the landscape and history ... I think, as I didn't read 'em all :LOL: Who knows if there also were a wildlife signs of birds too..
But, I recorded that bird sound, so I sent it to my aunt who is a "birdnerd", I would say. Although she had never heard it, she sent it to bidlife where they usually answer within a week. So I have my hopes up!
I've been on a lot of trails without signs. Even the trails with signs, I don't blame you for not reading them. I don't always want to stop my hike. I'm glad I did on that particular trail though.
My bird ended up being a yellow billed cuckoo. Last year a pair of them were staying in my yard!

I hope they are able to identify your bird and you find out soon! It's interesting how exciting birding can be!

Thank you for the welcome! :) (my Finnish pretty much ends at tervetuloa and koira and other random words sadly) Oddly I love how flat Finland seems to be in contrast to Switzerland, the fact that you can see so far, the many lakes :) It really is beautiful here as well though, sometimes it makes me cry thinking how much our Lord must love us to make this beautiful world for us.

Long Beach, CA. Only a 50 minute train ride to Hollywood! And about 25 minutes away from Huntington Beach, where they do the surf competitions every summer.

The Drone Jedi in Oklahoma took this pic recently while it was foggy at Kelly Lane Park in Sapulpa. I love the atmosphere. It's too smashing to not share...

It's very very very hot! Still in the 90s in November. I love Texas as this is my home, but sheesh! I am getting fed up with this weather. The plants and trees are blooming. There are tons of butterflies and birds all over the garden. Ya'll know I am insectaphobic. This ain't fun for me!
I've been enjoying the birds though! The other day I saw a Green Jay and some Red Crowned Parrots. I'll have to take pics of these for ya'll to see. The area I live in is a good birding place because a lot of birds migrate here for the Winter. We also get birds from Mexico. I love the Chachalacas! They make funny noises and look goofy.
