Today, I experienced a story to add to the stories of misidentifications,
etc.  My mistake did not involve a bird.  I traveled to Hurlock WWMP and
couldn't find from whom anyone to ask permission to bird.  But the gate was
open, the sky was clear, so up I went on to the dike.  I stayed there a
while.  Shortly after noon, when I drove down the ramp to leave, I realized
I was locked inside the gate.  Thankfully, a gracious neighbor up the road
gave me a ride to the town hall, where a town employee could be paged to
spring my imprisoned automobile!  A word of caution when birding at Hurlock:
Let Someone Know You're There!
