I was finally able to snap a photo of this black raven looking orange-brown winged bird. This bird has quite the melodic call – cuuu oo cuuuu oo. Dwana was able to join us in our adventure today, which led us in search of Buddha’s footprints. We met on the the yoga sala ridge after her class and then went straight into the banana tree forest. The trail was muddy from all the rain. The clouds overhead were keeping the heat down. We found the pack of wild dogs and kept on moving. Ezra was not in a mood to walk – even without hill on the straight and narrow. The road to Buddha’s footprint was dirt and mostly flat about a 3km walk from our townhouse. The roads ends in a area where many building are being constructed. As the story goes, a Buddhist monk was meditating in the forest a couple years back (recent stuff) and discovered Buddha’s footprint. They decided to make the area a Holy Place and now a beautiful Temple has been constructed with other places of offering all near where the footprints were discovered. If you build it they will come, but first you must find the footprint … after a meditation. We saw the bronze winged bird on our return trip.
