good read with reference to specimens of extinct species. And this quote from Peter Alden about bird counting cf to bird watching: He gave that race up when it started to feel like a pursuit of numbers rather than of birds. "I'd love to see a lot of birds I haven't seen," he said. "But I don't give a damn about the numbers."
