Description
I'm in a rather silly mood tonight, which is the perfect time to post something like this.
You're probably thinking ... WTF?????, and I don't blame you!
I know it looks like a bird, which is the whole point. It's actually a wind sock on the end of a flexible pole. When the wind blows (which it always does at the beach) this thing behaves just like a real bird. It hovers and dips and floats up and down, and it totally fools the unwary (and/or the underinformed).
Just a windsock ... not a real bird. This one happens to be at the ferry dock on Lopez Island. There's another one at the Clinton ferry dock on Whidbey.
:D

I love a touch of whimsy, and WOW...it does look like an actual bird! Fantastic shot. The featureless sky makes the whole thing stick out even more; and, I suppose, I'm in something of a whimsical mood too. I imagine the thing as a dragon, or maybe some animal common in Nemaea. (I've been thinking of Nemaea) and as soon as I have access to a computer with word processing (for more than an hour at a time) Ilya, Aleo, Dorianna, et al. will finally get part three of their story done, and don't be surprised if wind-sock looking critters fly around in the background. But enough of that...back to this picture. It rocks. Its beautifully captured.
very good picture! nice description
I've seen those before. :-) Very cool shot and at first, you fooled me. Fun post.
Had me fooled! :D
Splendid composition and colors my friend
Marvellous object! What a scream! I just think your pic is great, I was completely taken in.
You got me too hehe! I'm just glad I wasn't in a hurry to post a quick comment without reading. My first thought when viewing the thumb was, OK what can I write about this lonely bird ? Well done Tara!
You could have fooled me, Err you did, it looks like the big Red Kites that are making a comeback in the Buckinghamshire area of the UK.
And me too I thought exactly as you wrote. I am sure ALL are zooming today LOL ! Excellent shot BTW :-)))
Too funny!
Excellent !! it seem really a bird !! BRAVO !!
I puzzled, which kind of bird it could be.... ;-))
Excellent capture!!
At first I thought WTF!!!! jsut like you said, I thought this is the strangest bird I have ever seen, it looks drunk, or dying to pee as it has its legs crossed. Lol #;0) Somebody has a great sense of humour, something akin to mine. Gave me a big smile. Bravo!!!!!
Fooled me too, lol. Never saw a windsock (or bird) like that. Great shot and humor! :)
Good one...and now we're poised to see the one from the Clinton ferry... Almost always high winds along the Atlantic beaches in Denmark...lots of similar flying contraptions there.
Lol nearly had my books out to ID this one! Would be wonderful to prevent bird strikes at airports!
fantastic shot!!!
WTF---if I hadn't already known, that's exactly what I would've said!! It is truly a very weird looking thing---I can't tell if I'm looking at it from the front or the back!!
With out a doubt, the best picture of a wind sock I've ever seen.
LOL! I also was trying to figure out what kind of bird it was...wonderful shot, and what a great wind sock! I wonder if it fools other birds?
I thought it was a bird too and wondered where the head was now I am being silly with you wonderful capture, Tara May warm hug that smiles, Linda Kaye
Great shot.
That's really stunning. I was certain that was a bird.
I was trying to figure out what kind of bird it was. Great capture of this wind sock.

I am not thinking WTF?..I am thinking, wow cool shot!
I swear, I thought you found a new rare species of bird flying....lol Interesting find and capture.... Aloha
I thought..This is great!
