You have a radar set. You have a chartplotter. They are separate
instruments. You are familiar enough with the capabilities of your radar
set to guesstimate how far away the birds are...and when you look at
your chartplotter, you see the depths or marked contour curves or both.

You have a radar set. You are really familiar with your area, so when
the set says "birds," you know by looking at the monitor where the area
is, and you know the water depth there is 10-12 feet at low tide, or
whatever. Got the picture?

There are more possibilities, but I don't want you to fry your brain.

Since you are NOT a boater, and never were a serious fishermen, you
ought not to make comments that so clearly show you don't know your butt
from a hole in the ground, eh?

*Who* has the radar set?

"Without question, we need to disarm Saddam Hussein. He is a brutal,
murderous dictator, leading an oppressive regime ... He presents a
particularly grievous threat because he is so consistently prone to
miscalculation ... And now he is miscalculating America's response to his
continued deceit and his consistent grasp for weapons of mass destruction
... So the threat of Saddam Hussein with weapons of mass destruction is real
