It pays to not pay attention...

So last Thurs for our "wednesday" meeting, Renee decided to have the meeting outside on the deck by the kitchen since it was such a nice day (why didn't we ever think of that this summer???). We had a paper to read and discuss, some of us read it and some of did not (...aka gunther). As we were discussing the paper, Jonathan was gazing off into the distance (maybe a Gunther song playing, with images of the Sunshine girls dancing in his head) when all of a sudden he perks up, starts pointing frantically towards a tree near the shed (but didn't say anything because he didn't want to interupt Renee).
Jon "Oooh oooh!" "Umm, Renee!"
Us "What is it Jonathan? What do you see?"
Jon "What's that bird?!?!?!"
Renee "Hmmmm. I see a white eye....wing bars....hmmm"
(turns to vireo page and mumbles something under her breath so as to not get everyone too excited, meanwhile all the staff come out bins in hand, lots of ooohing and aaahing and grown men weeping...ok maybe there wasn't any weeping)
"Yup, White-Eyed Vireo!" "Ooooohhh, Aaaaaaaahhhh!" "Wowwwwwww!"
"Heavens to Betsy!" "Somebody call Keith!!!"
Geoff "Hmmm, that's a good bird.....it's not a wrentit, but still a good bird..." (turns around and walks balk to office)

So Keith shows up within 7 minutes with his equipment "Where is it?!?!?! Where is it??!?!?!"
Tried to get some footage of it but Gunther was the only one that got any good footage with his videocamera. Keith offered Jon a free t-shirt from his shop for spotting the bird "Good work brother!"(hand shake) - Jon was in heaven that he provided such a joyous moment for his idol Keith. Like a school girl with a crush....

Anyway - lots of commotion and craziness that day.
Moral of the story:
It pays to not pay attention...just ask Jon!
