One certain way to heighten the pleasure of a special bird sighting is to brag about it later. Step right up and share your best bird of the weekend.

My best birds this weekend were American Tree Sparrows and Mourning Doves, both roosting in large flocks. Regrettably, I observed these birds while at a party and consequently away from my binoculars. Otherwise, I might have identified the large raptor brooding over these birds from a distant tree.
