These ABA listing rule changes and the rationales behind them:
http://blog.aba.org/2014/10/news-from-the-aba-reording-standards-and-ethics-committee-supplemental.html
are really a hoot to read, for example in the rationale for changing
Rule 3.C(i):
"The RSEC felt that it was in the nocturnal bird’s best interest
to be countable upon release."
or for Rule 2.B(v):
"... these native joys should not be marred by an asterisk of
countability."
But occasionally one finds a bit of common sense:
"The RSEC also unanimously agreed in principle that to prevent a
bird’s access to medical care that needs it so that other
birders may count the species prior to its rehabilitation is
completely unethical."
I could agree in principle with that too -- or even just agree,
outright.
Good birding,
Joel
