I have had the occasion to visit with Mark a couple of times during the past
few years and know his point of view. He loves studying birds and
photographing them, as we know from his tern studies. He feels that there are
interesting birds to see and learn about everywhere you go. He can't
comprehend why anyone would want to drive out of their way to twitch a bird for
their list. If you want a rare bird, go out and find one. They're out there.
It just takes a lot of perseverance and time. And if you protest by saying
then you won't share your bird with him, he's OK with that. Because he's not
going to chase after your bird anyway.
Mark found an interesting tern that may be an Elegant Tern and shared that with
us. I'm don't think he's obligated to do anything more. It would be nice,
because I would go chase after it. On the other hand maybe I should should be
out on the coast studying terns. No telling what I might find, what I might
learn and how much I would enjoy the discovery.
