Well, I’ve got to add my oops. While out near the Rockies I saw a Great Horned
Owl sitting on top of light pole next to a barn.
I pulled over got out my camera and starting shooting pix. I got closer and
closer and realized it was decoy.
And how many of us have taken a 2nd look at bird, while driving down the road,
and finally noticed it was species: “baggus plasticus”.

Subject: [birdky] Re: Reversal on Stilt Sandpiper at JC Jones Sinkhole Ponds
Years ago I misidentified a juvenile dunlin for a stilt sandpiper. It would
have been my life stilt as well. I went maybe another 3 or 4 years before I
got my first true stilt sandpiper. I’ve never heard of anyone else mistaking
the two. I’ve been hiding my “shame” all these years. Thanks for making it ok
for me, Jeff.

Hey folks! Sorry to report that, after more consultation with BPB this
evening, I mis-ID'd the bird at JC Jones Sinkhole Ponds. It has been
determined to be a juvenile Dunlin still in transitional plumage at this late
date in October. Never claimed to be a shorebird expert! Sorry for the false
alarm.
