What a thread, but lets try another tack. In 2002 Edwin Vella and I saw an American Golden Plover at Kooragang Island. From the comments I've recieved and heard from this list (and other sources) I feel as though I should have shot the bird to prove what I already knew.
 
Sometimes this is only level of proof that will be accepted.
 
Bring it on.

"...  Though I previously stated that I have no objection to collecting birds for sound reasons, etc. - this example is as far as I can see unnecessary and unsupportable.  Though I don't see any threat to the Yellow Chat population from collecting a vagrant, I can't see what was gained from doing so!  They don't offer any real justification for collecting this one - there was never any suggestion that it was other than a vagrant (ie. not a previously undiscovered population).  I don't feel any moral indignation, but I do question their scientific judgement.  ...".
