I know that 1st law... I looked for a Burrowing Owl that was reported at
Agate Lake until it was getting dark and I was tired lugging my camera
around... as I was walking back to the car defeated again, there it was on
the ground 15' from me with its bright yellow eyes giving it away.
My 2nd law would be that whenever you chase a rare bird that someone has
reported, you will always be a little too late.

I validated this law again this afternoon. I walked south from China
Creek, south of Bandon, for an hour. When I got back I found 30 Snowy
Plovers straight in front of my car, half way to the water line from the
parking lot.
