I certainly have never considered that as much of a deterrent when I post ;-)

That's precisely why you should post. Far away places, exotic locations, eh,
well not quite but it would be interesting to see what stuff you typically
see. I'm sure there is more than a passing interest. You must see loads of
stuff that is only seen infrequently over on the wet side of the Cascades -
snow buntings, horned larks etc, etc. It's certainly more less valid than
postings about Montlake Fill or Ocean Shores, and perhaps more interesting as
it's not from the same old, dreary place about the same old, dreary species.
