I'm getting better at this birds and laundry
thing...the first rare bird I couldn't see because I
was doing laundry when I found out about it was a
Black-legged Kittiwake in Montgomery County in the
1990s.  Lord knows, I probably wouldn't have seen that
bird anyway.  

The second one was the Frederick County Northern
Lapwing.  I didn't find out about it until the
afternoon after it was posted on MDOsprey (another
time I didn't check the internet for hours).  After a
few minutes I said "Bah!  Let them be wrinkled" and I
zoomed up there as fast as I could, and saw it.  

This time, I've already seen the species in Maryland. 
Not that it wouldn't be nice to see the species again.

I wonder how many are in the District of Columbia
right now.
