That is true, it is also true that prior to 1975 we
did not have a good field guide to passerines and cameras and videos were not as
accessible. It is also true that for several years before the COG e-mail
list, there was the phone hotline updated once or twice a week, through most of
the 1990s. As for "my" WFHE, it has been so consistent at the site, that if that
site happened to be even as little as say 200 metres away (in a line involving
through other people's properties, rather than along an accessible path), then I
would not have known about it.
I think the next overdue new ACT bird is the
Square-tailed Kite.
