The moniker, "Stay Aware," or actually "@StayAware," indicated that the artist Cameron Thompson had painted this mural. He signed his work in large letter just above the beak of the bird.

Four more birds paralleled the sidewalk and faced the street. They were painted on a construction wall behind which a new business building was being constructed or remodeled.

While on a walk down Telegraph Avenue in Berkeley, California, this bird appeared ahead, painted on a construction fence. Even from this distance, one could almost read the artist's signature.

The two birds on the right-hand end of the mural faced each other. Diamonds hovered over them, which suggested they shared the same thought.

A closer shot of one of the bird faces. Notice the color and texture of each section of the face.

Between the two pairs of birds was a locked door. That door was covered in diamond shapes. The lock was fastened.
