I was enthralled during the entire trip. I have often waited long periods of time to get photographs of birds and I can really identify with "slowly, reluctantly, looking over our shoulders" as I have many times given myself a time limit waiting for a bird only to miss the shot just as I was leaving. I do have some nemesis birds, photographically speaking, that I will "chase" until I get a good photograph of them, but I also have some target birds to add to my list that I plan on traveling to discover when the time arrives. I really enjoy your writing and will come back to read more. I am also following you on Twitter! What a fantastic and intriguing story Laura. I was enthralled during the entire trip.

It's fun and I couldn't stop reading. I usually go for places where someone has reported a special bird (a lifer for me) and I know, that I almost never see that one, but most of the time I get to see another one. That's ok with me.

Glad you posted your link. Twitterers have been invited to share their zany stories here, and I hope someone bites. Or Twits, as the case may be. Laura Mike,

Yup, should've gone with the Hollywood "everyone wins!" version. I'll share one of my own <a href="http://featherflower.blogspot.com/2009/03/ivory-coast.html" rel="nofollow">Hollywood-ending gull chases</a>, and one <a href="http://featherflower.blogspot.com/2008/02/pretty-in-pink.html" rel="nofollow"> European ending to Niagara Falls</a>. Can't wait for next winter's gulling, but now I'm ready for the dicky birds! -Mike Wow, nice shots from Brad, and a great narrative with the fabled “European ending,” the one that ends with the protagonists coming up short.

I’ll share one of my own Hollywood-ending gull chases, and one European ending to Niagara Falls.

Can’t wait for next winter’s gulling, but now I’m ready for the dicky birds!
