MrBaliHai I checked with my brother in law about the sign. He has lived on the property off and on for all of his life (55 years) and has never seen that sign. It is long gone.

TikiSkip, that gift shop that never became a gift shop wasn't built until the 90s so there probably isnt a tie between the 2 birds. My father in law has been gone for a couple years so there is no way to ask. But my brother-in-law says that his dad came up with the idea but the inspiration is unknown. That hut has been turned into an apartment and someone lives there. The bird is still flying high in the same place. As far as a shared Mexico connection, I think it's unlikely. We are above the Sea of Cortez side of Baja. Pretty sparcely populated and pretty far from Ohio.

Sign progress - I got the base cut out but realized I drew the letters out too big. Off to the copy shop in the morning to shrink my layout
