"An abstract sculpture constructed with two narrow, vertical, triangular forms in brownish-red steel that form the sides for a tall open collage of various birds and branches in bronze with a blue/white/black patina. At the top of the steel sides is a sun/star shape with a bird in flight attached to the end of a rod extending above it, and three other birds circling around it. The sculpture is mounted on an octagonal base adorned with bronze reliefs of wildlife. The bronze wildlife reliefs also have a blue/white/black patina."

This sculpture is located in the parking lot if the entrance of the foothill ranch biking and hiking trail. There are many geocaches on this trail. Parking is close but you do have to pay. If you don't want to pay parking is next to Ralph's. This sculpture is about 20 feet tall and SHOULD have a geocache in it.
