"Nemesis birds" shared by birders in last 24 hours:

* Connecticut Warbler
* Burrowing Owl
* Pectoral Sandpiper
* Saw-whet Owl
* GWF Goose
* YB Cuckoo
* Purple Finch
* Lapland Longspur
* Sabine's Gull
* Pileated Woodpecker
* Ruff
* Harpy Eagle
* Spruce Grouse
* Painted Bunting
* Boreal Owl
* Henslow's Sparrow
* Boreal Chickadee.

Note that the degree of rarity varies.  In one case, a nemesis took 30 years 
to find (guess which one).  Others are still being chased after 10-14 years.

The stories have been great!
