I might as well add this one from the Cecil Whig a few years ago...

They showed a picture of a male Hooded Merganser and labeled it as a 
Bufflehead. I emailed my friend, who is a graphic designer at the paper. She 
showed it to the editor. The next thing I know my private email to my friend 
was shown, prominately, in the Letter's to the Editor section the next day.  
That wasnt my intention, but at least the ID was corrected...

Good Birding,
