Jim, If "the occurrence of such rarities is more common than we realize" then
by definition they are no longer rare! Alan WormingtonLeamington, Ontario

Jack makes an excellent point.� I remember several years back when a
very rare bird (TOS review species) showed up much farther north than it had
ever been observed in Texas.� It was on private property, and I was
honored to be invited to see it.� While several of us were watching it,
a discussion took place about how truly extraordinary it was that this species
was found so far north.
My response was that we needed to consider the odds of this particular
individual bird ending up in the yard of one of the very few people in that
area that could even identify it.
Yes, the sighting was exciting, but I took away the thought that, perhaps, the
occurrence of such rarities is more common than we realize.
