Happy Friday! I hope everyone has some excellent weekend plans – I am already looking forward to some beautiful weather here tomorrow, so Choppy and I can get out for a nice, long walk in the morning.
Today’s “Where’s Choppy?” post features a picture from our walk this morning. As you can see, it was a foggy morning. This is just a couple blocks from our house, and it doesn’t normally look so artistic (thank the weather for that). Once you’ve found Choppy, there is also a Red Winged Blackbird in the picture, and you can search for him, too (based on how many I heard/saw this morning, there may well be more than one – but there is one obvious fellow in the picture).

The weekly instructions and warning:
Choppy is somewhere in the photo below. We will post an answer on Monday so you can see if you are correct in your guess as to her location. In the meantime, if you don’t want to know where she is, do not go look at the comments. They are full of answers. And poor guesses. But mostly answers.

? my guess and it’s a GUESS around the left bend covered by the bush???

I think you may be on to something there (and by “on to something” I mean, this sounds absolutely correct).

My guess is between nine and ten o’clock. 🙂

She’s really hiding here – but I agree with the previous comments 🙂

And on this, you would be wise. I mean, you’re wise on other things, too. I should really say, on this, you’re correct.

Thanks! I feel I should give Mother Nature a co-author shout out on this one, as most of it was her doing. I just snapped the picture!

I see you Miss Choppy and the Bird. We have quite a few Red Wing Black Birds here too. They are actually a protected species in our area.

I am guessing they are here as well. Of course, by sheer numbers, they appear to be the third most common bird around (after the mallards and the Canada Geese). I’m guessing that’s just a function of living next to a river and among plenty of marshes, though.

Choppy will learn about red winged blackbirds, if she already hasn’t. They love to dive bomb invaders of their turf.

No dive bombing yet – though they are out in force. We went for a four mile walk around here this morning, and t am pretty sure we could mark one every fifty feet or so.

Reminds me of walking the fields in Kansas. My hunting buddy was always losing his dog in cover like that. If she got separated, she would just sit down in the deep cover. Calling her and whistles were ineffective. So we would have to wander the field carefully listening to the beeps her collar made, while we homed in on her location. She would not move until she was in direct contact with one of the gang. On the other hand, all I have to do is holler, “Mongo, Want cookie?” and mine comes barreling out of the grass like a mad cape buffalo. Very nice photo. 🙂

What a great story! Choppy falls in the Mongo camp on this one – the magic “T” word (“treat”) brings her running every time. And to think, at training they wanted me to teach her “come.” This works so much better. Of course, all a would-be burglar has to do to enter our home is know the magic word, and Choppy will be his best friend.
