I hope that the person who wrote this article is not a TWRA official, but
an ignorant reporter who got his facts wrong. I know that I was interviewed
by a newpaper reporter here in Jackson who quoted me later on such
interesting (and fictiional) species as the blue martin and the tufted
pitmouse. Possibly the word "tit" offended the reporter's delicate nature.
I had to endure several days of abusive phone calls about my birding
ignorance, and finally had to write a column in my defense, trying to throw
a humorous light on the whole incident.

If this articlte was written by someone who should know better, that is an
appalling matter! If it was an ignorant reporter, it points out the wisdom
of asking an expert to proofread an article before it goes to print.
