- OK, I will use the opportunity, Bert63 is to blame
, not me - never
!
" That's me man - it doesn't have to be exotic for me to enjoy it - especially the birds. I know some folks prefer the things you don't see every single day but I'm happy just to look. "
I went out yesterday in search of the Solitary Sandpiper that was seen at the same spot for ~2 weeks if not more. I was really busy and didn't succeed to get there in the days everybody was enjoying the rare visitor ... How rare? Up to date 6 birds, first encounter in year 1907 - count now...
Didn't see it. It's not "exotic" bird for most of the North America (especially during the migration) but here it is!
Instead I got these... not because I don't enjoy them (huh - when there is nothing else? And they are cute anytime - almost
) but just compare it with the opportunity to see and take even crap shots of bird #7 counted from 1907!!!!
Bert63 - nothing personal, I'm just using what you have written to spill my disappointment... Otherwise I agree with you and I usually feel the same (obviously not always
).
But damn it - I missed that bird
!!!! On other hand (OK here I'm going wildly optimistic) it could be just temporary "absentee" (ha, ha even I don't believe myself
)!
