I'd have to agree with Michael here. If I was able, given it's a
three-day weekend, I'd chase the bird. I think many people would be of
that mind.

The sighting has been been posted to OBOL, CALBIRD, and BIRDCHAT, so any
positive or negative details would be useful to all on these lists,
especially with regard to ID. I don't think who's so important in most
cases as why it was identified in such (I'm still waiting on OBOL for
deatils of a Costa's Hummer seen by several people within 3 miles of
downtown). Ray K
