**************************
I think the majority of rarity traffic is generated by eBird postings.
That said, I think it does no harm to remind people who are on this
listserver about best behavior from time to time. I would rarely want
to travel more than 20 miles to see these marvels, but I understand
the excitement of rare birds. Bad behavior like death and taxes will
always be with us, but attempting to correct poor behaviors in others
is worth undertaking...
