Random sights in a rain storm

Does this look like a bird in a high tree? Can you see it?

Getting wet was not very nice, but I just had to show you this.

I like the settings that a stormy day reveals, as it always looks very dramatic. Just as the birds sit the rain out, so too have I learned how to survive on a rainy day. If you ever had a trickle of ice-cold raindrops down your back on the spine, then you will know what I am talking about. But yes, endurance is a big friend of mine. A sign popped up on my PC, "Thunderstorm is in effect", and believe it or not I look forward to these signs.

To befuddle you a bit more, this below is the top part of the tree, and that's when I saw that weird spot just below the top of the tree. It is a very old Fir tree, and its trunk at the bottom is as wide as a small car.
