Correct. After all it was Sunday night...

I'm sure that was meant to be a light-hearted comment, Steve, and not
a dig at Chris. It's not his fault he can't reveal the location and
offer to show people the bird (and he may yet get that chance).
At least he reported it - but he must feel uncomfortable about the
circumstances.
I don't think comments like yours make his predicament any easier.
