[mou] Tennessee Warbler in MG revisited

[Thomas Maiello]

Learned a lesson today about casually viewing something and thinking  
it to be something and it probably being something else or turning out  
to be something special.  My observations on what I thought to be a  
Tennessee Warbler nesting in Maple Grove is either a misID, an  
incredible special and record-making occurrence or something that was  
no big deal to me and should probably have held my tongue/fingers/ 
emailing or perhaps looked a bit into before leaping into the email  
circle.

Various feedback indicates that I should confirm my observation with  
binocs and a longer study than my haphazard glancing provided.  I will  
revisit my birdie area and see if in fact the world is in utter chaos  
of recorded certainty or if my eyes misperceived my mind and I perhaps  
saw a vireo of similar sorts.  News to follow with film at eleven  
following the weather on the quarter hours.

I think I learn more about birds from my incidental mentions on this  
server than any amount of solo time I spend the in the field.  I thank  
all those who care enough to share and are knowledgeable enough to  
question and are sweet enough to simply inquire and have me look  
again.  Note to self - check MOU occurrence maps when I think I see  
something unusual.

Thanks again you fastidious fellow birders.  You always, always make  
my day and open my mind and eyes and ears.
