bird watcher

I just had a phone interview with a bird watcher on the controversy over the role of migratory birds in the spread of bird flu. Maybe it is too controversial, I have no idea of what he was talking about. Sounding British, he cited types of birds, ducks, wild birds .....that I wouldn't even know the Chinese name of. My resort was keep saying ''right..right'' ''oh....yeah'' while brushing my mess hair right out of bed on this supposed-to-be holiday Saturday. Yeah, my editor told me there is not such thing of working nine hours in journalism. Tomorrow, i'm gonna actually go find him in the remote island of Cheung Chau at noon. I hope talking face to face will help coz i can at least read his lips and show on my face of total confusion and nag him for at least one hour - things i can no way do over the phone. But, tomorrow is the deadline of the article. Can I finish it? Of course I can. But the content....this reminds me of a point a book i once read cites, ''Creative people are always stuck with too much information and unable initiate work.'' That applies so perfectly to me. I still haven't got a clear picture even after reading tons of articles !
