Sometimes ID'ing a bit early leads to interesting bloopers: This morning Mark Junghans and I were birding the Prairie Wildlife Drive portion of Sherburne National Wildlife Refuge near Princeton, MN. As we sighted the final pool, I remarked about the commotion in the water: "There's the loon family we missed earlier."
Would have been a great call, except as we drew much nearer, the loons morphed into otters. Sigh. Must admit I've never completed missed on the type of mammal before. How about the rest of you - ever humorously call too early or miss one? Humbly submitted, Al Schirmacher Princeton, MN Mille Lacs & Sherburne Counties
