[mou] Re: Bloopers

The one blooper that my (non-birding) family will never let me forget:   We 
were driving on the highway in the suburbs of Minneapolis, when I spoted a 
large bird perched on a fence post.  My initial ID's of some kind of hawk... 
no! an owl! ...  were met with prolonged laughter when we discovered a it 
was a cat sitting on top of the post.  It is hard to travel that road with 
my family without them snickering, even now, years later.   Birders are far 
more forgetful and forgiving.
