Hi Tweets,
I would like to report that I looked for the N. Seattle Blue Jay from =
3:00 to 4:00 PM yesterday, without success. I didn't even see or hear =
any Steller's Jays. I was a little surprised at not getting the bird, =
given that everyone has been posting about how easy it was to see...then =
I decided that only the folks who easily saw it were notifying =
tweeters...so there might be a phenomenon something like "sighting =
creep"...if only successful tries are reported, it will always appear to =
be easier than it really is to find a target bird.
Or maybe I was just unlucky.
