I think it's probably true that you could be somewhere for HOURS and the minute you leave, a new bird flies in or something unusual happens....and you miss it. Isn't that Murphy's Law or something?

I've surely learned some wonderful ones I'll never be lucky enough to see through blogging. <br /><br />I thought of your counts last week when we saw what I referred to as a zillion coots. I should learn how to do real estimates I suppose, but I very very seldom see birds in great numbers like that.Sallie (FullTime-Life)https://www.blogger.com/profile/15442598857394838271noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4526180646938954660.post-46258607197036718102015-04-14T20:07:08.391+01:002015-04-14T20:07:08.391+01:00Wryneck is a new one for me and very cool plumage....Wryneck is a new one for me and very cool plumage.
