"...watchers are flocking to Conchas Lake State Park near Tucumcari after the first confirmed sighting of a...booby in New Mexico."
Well I'm sure it's not the *first* time people have gone booby watching at Conchas Lake. But whatever.
Don't you just love ellipses? They can do so much to change the tenor of reporting.
I feel like a true media denizen now!
Ok, ok, here's the real quote from this ABQJournal story:
"Bird-watchers are flocking to Conchas Lake State Park near Tucumcari after the first confirmed sighting of a blue-footed booby in New Mexico."
I guess it's rather a big deal!
