Thanks to you all for the generous replies to my question. One of the 
things I like about birding people is their humility, and so I assume 
that first. I had put the query out in as naive a form as I could 
make it -- open to all answers is what the question was. In the face 
of this issue, I do feel I'm a beginner!
	Anyway, sadly I guess, Ockam's Razor does hold true -- the 
odds of seeing an uncommon bird are always going to be uncommon.
	Well, now I feel somewhat clearer about this issue, and 
certainly have a clearer picture of its many faces, and what I might 
do. So -- thank you.
Regards,
Judith.
