Definitely agree on this one. I am sure lots of vagrants even get missed
close to the capital cities!!

Hi all
I think Dave Torr hit the nail on the head - given the low numbers of
birders, and the vastness of the continent, it's much more likely to be
a
case of vagrants turning up in many places, but not being found. Ask any
UK
birder how many more rarities are being found there nowadays compared to
say
20 years ago - due to a large increase in the numbers of birders and
their
mobility. A statistician could have a field day (applying some basic
assumptions) about the odds of vagrants being found.
