The Washington Post Metro section has a story about the 
Frederick County lapwing and the chasers chasing it 
yesterday.  Since Elizabeth Williamson (the reporter) 
apparently did not see the Lapwing, the story focuses more
on the birders and the birds they have recently chased.
Shrimpy gets a reference in the first sentence!
   I have to give the reporter credit for standing out in 
a cornfield for an hour, with no sighting.
