just flew away with the pictures in the book. I am no where near the =
sophistication and knowledge must of you have about birds.=20

I will get in the car and chase some bird that I have not seen before =
because some serious birder says is in someone's yard and told us about =
it on the list.=20
So it is a little discouraging, as a new birder to read this list and =

irrationally.=20
A good friend of mine, who fought in Viet Nam once said "If no one died, =
no one lost a limb and no one is bleeding, don't sweat it".=20
