Kwilborn.....yes, be sure to try cloudbusting. You will find it fairly easy to do. Follw his directions....choose a day with lots of puffy clouds in the sky and pick one that has others near it so you know it's not normal dissipation if it goes and the others remain. Don't concentrate on it just focus.
I have done this with a friend and my son. On both occasions it worked! They were amazed, but I knew with TWO minds focusing it would work.
Good luck with it!
There's a similar game you can play with birds sitting on highline wires or in trees you might enjoy. I usually do it with Reiki, but it's not necessary .... I prefer ravens for it, partly because they're so good about attention span and focus. You can do it looking out the window of a restaurant, sitting on your front porch, or just hanging in the woods.
You catch a bird in your focus, open your third eye, and use a piece of the bird's anatomy as a target. Reiki tends to be pleasant for them, so I try to get them preening, most of the time. But I also sometimes go in to give them an itch in a specific place, or heat under their wings to cause them to lift them out to let more ventilation into the hotspot.
But if you happen to do Reiki, almost every bird will love it.
