> Hello group,
>
> After several unsuccessful attempts to locate an Elegant tern, I was close
> to concluding that I was on a Tweeters new member initiation "Snipe hunt".
> However, upon returning from Ocean Shores on Monday, I reviewed digital video
> and found......an Elegant Tern standing next to three Caspians. I had seen so
> many orange billed juvenile Caspians with my binoculars, that I overlooked this
> bird among the hundreds of shore birds present (and I have much to learn). It
> was worth the search- beautiful bird. I would like to attach this short digital
> video to a group e-mail from my I-Mac but do not now how to do so. Any Mac
> Tweeter willing to assist?
> Also, I would like to thank all Tweeters posters for their e-mails. I have
> learned much from your observations.
