Or spending all day looking for a lifer [Gila Woodpecker in the Phoenix area],
going back to the hotel dejected, and on the way to dinner finding two in the
tree above your car (it happened).

Mine is, if you hike up a mountain looking for Mountain Quail and your hubby
stays in the car because he's not feeling well, you won't find a single one on
the mountain but a covey of them will march past the car as he watches through
the window...

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.

Sullivan's 1st law of seeking a desired bird:
You will walk out until you are tired, then walk back and the bird will be by
the car.
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.
