For our ornithologist/scientist members, or anyone else - like me -  
interested, there is an excellent article in the May 29th New Yorker  
titled "Ruffled Feathers:  Uncovering the biggest scandal in the bird  
world" by John Seabrook beginning on page 50.  The scandal was  
uncovered by Pamela Rasmussen while researching her "monumental" new  
work, "Birds of South Asia:  The Ripley Guide."   Pamela Rasmussen is  
now an assistant professor at Michigan State University.

Good reading,
