I wonder if it would make it easier to form a consensus or at least get
comparable opinions if you defined this further: should this include birds
that are locally common and not hard to see in those places, but only in
places that are extremely remote?  How should those be compared to birds
that are widespread and not rare, but very secretive and literally "hard to
see"?

For those of us outside Australia who don't get that journal, would you
share the results?  Thanks!
