[TN-Bird] A common cause of friction

On Sunday, Kay and I spent some time at Normandy Lake (? Coffee Co.) and  
Bedford Lake, Bedford Co.  We found one Common Loon at Normandy Dam. We  found  
48 species in a couple of hours.  A debate might have been  set up by us both 
looking for a vireo-sounding bird in a nearby tree.   I saw a bird with a 
bright yellow head, Kay saw it as having a greenish head but  yellow throat and 
spectacles. The song, confirmed later, clinched her  Yellow-throated Vireo, and 
the illustrations supported my Prothontary Warbler.  As so often, we were 
looking at two different birds very close together.  I  am sure this situation 
has 
happened to many of us, with glimpses of a bird we  try to combine into one 
when, more often than not, we have two. Open minds save  a lot of potential 
disputes! Ralph and Kay Brinkhurst, Lebanon, Wilson  Co.
