Well, I just went through a bit of realizing my limitations. Turns out the bird I just photographed in California probably isn't a Rock Sandpiper and probably is a Wandering Tattler. Now, for me the Wandering Tattler is a life bird so it's not a terrible discovery. The folks in California will be a bit less excited about the tattler. Oh well....... It's really great when you have enough photographic evidence to actually see one of your mistakes and correct it. That's part I feel good about. Otherwise, it would have been a wrong assumption that I carried with me for a long time. So, where's the best place to go to see Rock Sandpiper ? I just "have" to see one now.
