Raise your hand if you ever mis-identified a bird!
If you think about it, John James Audubon, Roger Tory Peterson and David
Allen Sibley have their hands raised.

In 2014 in open grassland
In 2014 in open grassland near the floor of the San Luis Valley, below the San
Juan Mtns., I mis-identified a “Sprague’s Pipit.” An experienced birder pointed
out to me that American Pipits were just starting down from high country at
about that time, and I wisely yielded.
