Do you think it is easy to find a specific bird?

Reading

After a lot of preparation, We landed in the capital of Morocco, rented a car and set off to look for the elusive bird. I had joined many birding groups on social media and traced a path we should follow on the map. Traffic in the city was hectic and scary, but we soon got onto a

smaller road, which we followed for hours. We drove slowly through large grasslands for hours. My father kept seeing movement and pointing, so I’d turn off the road and take a detour, driving on dusty gravel roads through fields and past small towns. But we didn’t find the Hoopoe.

elusive

Reading

My birding group kept assuring me that the Hoopoe was just a little bit further north, so we kept driving. The weather was hot and dry, so we stayed in the air conditioned car for the majority of the day. By the third day, I was tired, sore and a little bored, but my father remained upbeat and excited. He was certain

we would find the Hoopoe eventually. When we checked in to the hotel, for the fourth night, I checked my messages and had to tell my father, “Bad news, The birding group now says that the Hoopoes have all moved north out of Africa, dad.”

Reading

My father looked at me with determination in his eyes. “Well, then we’ll have to go north as well.” “We only have 3 more nights before our flight home,” I told him. “We can do it, son.” He stood and looked at the new maps the group had sent. “We’ll have to go to Spain.” I groaned and wondered why my father

couldn’t have become obsessed with some common bird; a pigeon, for instance. I spent some time talking to the man at the front desk and found out there was a ferry to Spain that left early the next morning. We got up at the crack of dawn, registered the car and drove it onto the ferry.

Reading

A few long hours later, we drove the car off the ferry and headed north east toward Cadiz. My stomach was still queasy from the rocking of the boat and my head was pounding. I asked my father to drive for a while and tried to nap while we drove toward the city. I had received three alerts

from people who had seen Hoopoes in a large park, so we headed straight there. My father hummed along to the radio while I tried not to throw up.
