I wonder what prompts this. A few years ago someone reported the ANBG PO as dead (squashed and somewhat maggoty) on the road near ANBG. It turned out to be an ex Little Eagle. This lead to some unfortunate sweeping generalisations about the dubious accuracy of ID skills among COGites. I have the whole story written on my computer but won’t inflict it unless there is a benefit to do so.
