Big Bird - Answer

Edit Note: April 14, 2015, 2:25 PM UTC
For some reason my original image has been replaced with this image of a Manga Girl. Please ignore above image. I have uploaded the original image once again in Tinypic and am re-inserting below the original image (which now has a different URL);

GSV please. Clue will follow in due course.

Don't try Google Reverse Image search - Google returns totally unrelated and funny results. (Please see my post in Google+. Can someone please explain this bug) (Note - this is not a clue)

Welcome back, Moaguten!

What happened to his windmill "tail" visible heading to the south in 2012, but not heading north in 2014?

Well done Bridge, hhgygy, Walter, Moaguten (Welcome back, good to see you here), Groovy and Utapao.

Utapao as these were taken at different dates the windmill may have blown away or taken down for maintenance at that particular time when the GSV car passed it.

Here is a Rebus clue for others.

well, CJM and i found out something "interesting":
- cjm found a chinese website where you can see his red bird image, among manga girls, yeah!!! (so far i did not know cjm was a manga fan)
- cjm and this website/blog use tinypic for saving and sharing pictures
- it's clear that the image reference, 2ldzkmq.jpg, was re-used by tinypic!
- tinypic, among billions of possibilities, is not 100%-reliable, hoho

I didn't even know who are the Manga Girls.

I guess the file name is randomly allotted and it was one of those one in several billion chance that the two images got the same file name. Tinypic software should have a provision to check that no duplicate file name is generated by their random generator.

My main grouse is with G+, when I inserted the link to this page they should have picked the image from this page and not go searching over the web for another image with same file name.

Thanks for the clue, CuriousJM.

What the Heck! Tinypic is acting funny - where is my picture gone?  and in my Google+ post where the Manga Girl was appearing now shows the image of the Big Bird.

Well found all!

The Big Bird can be seen in this GSV
