You win, I have never heard of a Jack Snipe. i had to google it. Did you see one in northern europe or asia?

I saw it in County Wexford, Ireland last October. I met up with a local bird guide for 4-5 hours while my husband found a little village to hang out in. Turns out the guide wrote the field guide on the birds of Ireland, so I learned/saw a lot! And I had him sign my book.

My goal is to reference birds that I have actually seen. Of course, I messed up the very first week--I did Least Tern when I should have done Common Tern. But I've been good since.

Come to Massachusetts in June and I will take you where they are nesting - that will clean up your error.

I haven't figured out the meta yet, BTW. I just wanted to do my song. And I hope all my old faves are there on Tuesday. You see, I wanted to belt this song out as an amusing entrance to our Zoom, but I've practicing and it cannot be done. So you just have to do the video and the lyrics.

Hello, it's me
I was wondering if after all these years you'd like to meet.
To go over everything.
They say that solves are supposed to mug you, but I ain't done much mugging. 

Hello, can you hear me?  
I'm in California dreaming about who we used to be.
When we were younger and free
I've forgotten how it felt before the WSJ posted a fee
There's such a difference between that and this better site

Hello from the other site.  I've must have emailed a thousand times.
To tell Mike that I solved it and everything that I've done.
But when I check the email, I never do get that mug.

Hello from the other site.  At least I can say that I tried.
To tell you that I'm sorry for being that one
Who makes annoying parody of songs, that been done. 

But it don't matter it clearly doesn't tear you apart anymore

(So that's why I have to go on your Zoom meeting - because you're not all torn apart about my absence.)

Better watch out--I might have to take you up on that!

Maybe I should post a bunch of wishlist birds. Anyone for an Atlantic Puffin or Kentucky Warbler or...

However, I took a fresh look today and finally figured it out. Not sure I've ever been happier to join you guys on the beach.
