There's no way to estimate numbers, but the rarities found by birders must 
represent just a tiny fraction of what's actually there.

The recent rash of Midwestern rarities drives the question, what percentage of 
rarities are seen by birders?  Does the presence of a Vermillion Flycatcher 
mean that ten are in the Midwest?  How would one answer such a question?
