Guess I'll have to chime in on the Smew
sightings. I stood (in the cold wind) and watched the Smew though my
cheap binos and thought to myself, I'd like an expensive scope like the
fellow next to me --- he looked like a homeless person, so disheveled and
unshaven. He spoke up "I just flew in from N.J. & I want to go
get my thermos of hot coffee from my rental car -- want to look
though my scope while I get my coffee??" WOW! Did I
!! Looking around afterward, I thought to myself "he wasn't the only
person looking like a bum, never had I seen such expensive
equipment being owned by such down-and-out looking
people"!! Sure can't judge birders by the coat and cap they
wear!!
