Amen. For a while, a number of years ago, I was almost convinced that Winter
Wrens did not exist, but rather were just a giant hoax that the rest of the
world was playing on me. Everyone else said they saw them, but for me they
were truly a nemesis bird.

Judy is so right! I could not find a yellow headed blackbird for almost 2
years, everyone "just saw them" & I kept missing them. I used to say they
were
a myth to cover for my lack of seeing them and then when I finally saw some
they
did start showing themselves everywhere I went. I remember thinking they were
sticking out their tongues going "nah nah nah nah" at me.
Best regards, Susan Gayle
