[va-bird] Re: Munch time

 


Mr/Ms Jones, 

I, and I am sure others, think that your response to the post by Lori is one
of the most mean-spirited I have ever seen.  Birding and VA-BIRD list is not
solely about reading a quick digest of what was seen where and where can
rarities be found (if that is all you want may I suggest you subscribe to
theBIRDEAST list). Sure a report of some great fall-out experience can raise
the hackles on my neck, but a simple enjoyment of the birds puts a smile on
my face. I hope that your opinion is the minority on this list serve; if it
is the majority then the spirit of this list is lost to me.

VAbirders! The birds keep coming, yeehah! Just now, watching out the window,
munching on an orange, I saw a Brown Thrasher fly past my face, about 2'
awayon the other side of the window. It flew into one of our big spruces.
Dripping orange I grabbed my binox and ran to look out the window near that
spruce. Looking down I could see the Brown Thrasher on the ground. He was
munching too, but not on an orange, he was munching a cicada nymph. Yum yum
yum! I called to my daughter and said, "Come look at the thrasher in the
Redbud tree!" She joined me and said, "It's not in the Redbud." I pointed at
the thrasher and said, "Yes it is, right there!" "Not in the Redbud," she
repeated. And surprised, I saw she was looking at another Brown Thrasher
sitting a few feet away from the first. Indeed she was correct yet again,
forher thrasher was in the Black Chokeberry. She always finds birds I don't
see! Lori Markoff Vienna Fairfax County canyon.eagle@xxxxxxxxxxx[2] I can
only hope that I'm not speaking solely for myself here, but you've pushed me
over the top now. PLEASE SHUT UP... I'm tired of deleting your useless
drivelfrom my inbox, just so you can have the sick satisfaction of seeing
your name in print. Write this stuff down in your birder's diary AND SPARE
USALL... I admire your enthusiasm for every bird that shares your space, but
I CERTAINLY don't need a play-by-play recount of its every move, it's "name"
and whether or not different members of your family saw it or made the ID-
sosave it for BIRDCHAT... C. Jones --------------------------------- Do you
