I realize that the term "ignorant reporter" sounded harsh and
all-inclusive, and I apologize. In defense of this reporter, I was talking
pretty fast, and at least she cared enough to write an article on how to
attract birds to your landscape. It would be poor form to slam someone who
had an interest, and just made a couple of innocent mistakes. I have often
had other reporters who do doublecheck with me (on plants, usually) before
it goes to print.

In fact, I joined this bird-chat group in order to double check some facts
on the yellow billed cuckoo before I submitted my column on that
fascinating bird....but this was after I had made a small ornithological
faux pas on the wood stork in an earlier article. I should be the last to
throw stones....
