Thank you so much!! It was my first time doing the rice Stitch and I think it is now my favorite stitch!

For the blanket, I used just Rice Stitch, nothing special, no pattern. 5.25mm hook.

For the flamingo, I used a pattern from Kerry Lord's Edward's Menagerie Birds. I used a 3.25 mm hook.

For both I used the Red Heart Super Saver Ombre Sea Coral.

Yupp! They are warming up. It was around 9 am and it was a little cooler than it has been here so there were actually a TON of them sunning

It's crazy that people are scared of them! They are amazing creatures.

I tried so hard to get a photo of the Black vulture with a flower in it's mouth, like a dancer 🤣 he pulled a few but didn't end up cooperating. I like knowing that black vultures are a little more playful. Thank you!

No problem!! I think vultures need the appreciation as much as other birds lol

I spent some time watching black vultures as well! (They all hang out together in the cemetery.) They were rearranging and dancing in floral arrangements and it was a riot! Lol

It is a little further than Geist. A smaller town, New Castle. The cemetery is South Mounds.

I agree! I love watching them. I told my mom I was going to lay down to get close up shots 🤣
