My previous post was written without having read this entire thread . . .I
strongly believe that a discussion of the appearance of an Arctic Loon in

is exactly and precisely what MO-BIRDSers should be discussing . . .any
attempt to "rechannel" this discussion appears to me to be, with all due
respect, misguided . . .
