@glennklockwood it's been a while since I was a program manager, but 1. one does not have to be a researcher to do peer review; in your case you would bring your unique perspective shaped by your various roles, and 2. usually one follows the money to determine if there's a conflict-of-interest […]

LOL it appears that I re-recorded all of Chasse-neige on Side B, before Rhapsodie Espagnole! So even in high school I was OCD!

Arrgghh! I had forgotten I ran out of tape about 2/3 of the way into Chasse-neige

The tape unhelpfully says "Petula Clark". Must have been a recycled tape

At the end we stopped at the Barred Owl spot. He said one hasn't been seen for 4 weeks. I looked in the tangle of vines and saw some brown feathers. I put my scope on it. Birder Ed looked in it and agreed that we were seeing a Barred Owl. He seemed quite blown away by it. #birding

Birder Ed showed me a tree he and ZZ Top have been monitoring. It was a short pine tree next to some old tree trunks and whatnot. Below a certain height and under the tree were white spots that were probably owl droppings -- but which owl? Northern Saw-whet Owls have been reported at the hot […]

LOL "retroactive", yeah: one guy had checked off a flicker when the guy next to him thought it could have been an Evening Grosbeak then changed it after EVGR was confirmed. Another guy claimed he heard it and was "confirmed by Merlin" a day after an experienced birder saw a pair but couldn't get […]
