Thanks for commenting on, Terry. 

A more comical program could have been, "A walk at Dead Creek", instead of 
the taped Walk in the Woods, though.  For on my recent shorebird visit, in a 
repeat of what happened several years ago, I walked too close to the muck, 
and instantly sunk in about two feet, my shoes sucked off my feet.  Although 
I recovered my shoes this time versus those still buried the first time, they are 
a total loss.  One of the definite disadvantages of being a bird photographer 
and trying to get down low and close for shorebird compositions versus using 
a spotting scope from a safer distance.  So when reflecting back on those 
Baird's photos, it did cost me a pair of shoes, socks, possibly my jeans, and a 
lost camera part.  But again, if filmed, could have provided quite a laugh. So 
enough with shorebirds. Bring on the Rough-legged hawks, Bohemian 
Waxwings, and Snowy Owls!
