jim,
that birdfood you smithsonianus types are putting outside your building
must be hot stuff. maybe you can save greg some money by putting out
stuff that matches his target list; e.g., a dead seal for ivory gull
(can't remmber if he needs that one), etc.
BTW, as a birding economist (economizing birder?) I am always cheered to
find another example of diminishing returns, especially an avian one.
Once time-travel becomes feasible, birders'll be saving their pfennigs for
the Great Auk and Carolina Parakeet trips . . .
