Our friend who came with us for the first time saw both.

It's kinda hard to feel sorry for a lucky guy like you buddy ;-)<br /><br />All kidding aside, it always feels good when you get to see a new or rare bird doesn't it. Persistence, it seems, always pays off!Larry Jordanhttp://thebirdersreport.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33870372.post-34624042493787226572009-08-26T08:05:15.156+08:002009-08-26T08:05:15.156+08:00Sorry about the 'ones that got away' but i...Sorry about the 'ones that got away' but it was great to get a photo of a Black Tern.

That happe...Wow, I can understand your frustration!<br />That happens a lot to us, new- inexpert birder 'wanna-be's... We often see a new bird, it IS a new bird to us for sure, but ID with no picture, with the amount of birds you can find in this country is just frustrating!!<br />So, we often end up with no additions to our list :(Melhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04550692601943778577noreply@blogger.com
