>direction of the plover. I figured I knew the birders and would stop to 
>gossip with them about the bird. Not only did I not know this couple (they 
>were vacationing from Virginia), they hadn't heard about the plover, 
>weren't looking at it in their scope and didn't know they had pulled up at 
>the bird's exact location.

>We re-found the bird; it was a lifer for them.
